User migration is now possible in Lemmy 0.19:

Users can now export their data (community follows, blocklists, profile settings), and import it again on another instance. This can be used for account migrations and also as a form of backup. The export format is designed to remain unchanged for a long time. You can make regular exports, and if the instance becomes unavailable, register a new account and import the data. This way you can continue using Lemmy seamlessly.

Oh hey, I guess I learned something today :)

0.19 has been a real improvement in many ways. I'm a huge fan of the Scaled sort -- it helps the niche community content to surface.

Do you use an app or the website for this feature?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Scaled sort? Both. The app needs to support 0.19 though.

I tested Sync and Boost but can't find it. Which app do you use where this already works?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'm on iOS. I use Voyager and Mlem and both have it.
