Just gonna name-drop the tool I made to do this :) https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

It's only been out a few days, let me know if you have any issues!

[–] LUHG_HANI 23 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I liked .world but no way will I let meta in.

[–] bingbong 12 points 1 year ago

Thanks for making this!

Awesome! I was hoping this would be possible. I plan to host my own instance hobbit.world and would need to migrate everything.

Also, I'll defederate any corporate instances. No need to encourage bad actors.

If you’re creating an instance that will not federate with corporate instances, then I would love to join.

Thanks for this! Just gave this a try, downloaded from .world just fine, but uploading to .ml gives this error: ERROR: Failed Login - HTTP status client error (403 Forbidden) for url (https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login)

[–] CMahaff 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That usually means wrong username/password! But if you're sure, I can make an account on lemmy.ml and give it a shot.

[–] smoysauce 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the feedback. The username and password are indeed correct. I copied and pasted from Bitwarden and used the exact same ones to login to the lemmy.ml site. I do wonder if there is some sort of anti-bot measures that Colonel Sanders mentioned below.

Also: I tried just my username vs email but neither worked and I also don't have MFA enabled yet. Super weird.

EDIT: opened an issue on Github: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/issues/4

[–] CMahaff 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a fix! Merging the branch and dropping a new release shortly. Thanks for reporting this!

[–] smoysauce 3 points 1 year ago

Working great. Thanks for the quick fix!

[–] ColonelSanders 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to this, but would it have anything to do with the anti-bot stuff that lemmy.ml has implemented in the sign-up process? You now have to answer a few questions and basically write your reason for making an account before it lets you even submit the request for review.

[–] CMahaff 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

To use the tool you need to make your new account first manually - then you can port over your settings with the tool - so it shouldn't be affected by this.

So no, lemmy.ml shouldn't be blocking it, unless it's got something enabled to disable all API logins - though I would think that would break everything (i.e. apps).
