This will probably be of limited usefulness, but some people were asking about the export file. All it contains is favorites, filters, and a list of all your subreddits. Once you import it into wefwef, you can then click on each sub to get a list of similar communities which you can then manually subscribe to, one-by-one.

If you can get a list of your subs, you can create your own file to import into wefwef. On desktop you can highlight/copy all the subs from the sidebar.

Tip: ask ChatGPT to format the list for you if you can't write a macro:

Below is a list of my subreddits. Please format like this (remove the "r/"): "gaming","pics"

Subreddit Icon
r/AdviceAnimals
Subreddit Icon
r/AnarchyChess
Subreddit Icon
r/announcements
Subreddit Icon
r/apexlegends
Subreddit Icon
r/arresteddevelopment
Subreddit Icon
r/AskReddit
Subreddit Icon
r/askscience
Subreddit Icon
r/AteTheOnion
Subreddit Icon
r/aww

***
Here is the formatted list of your subreddits:

"gaming","pics","AdviceAnimals","AnarchyChess","announcements","apexlegends","arresteddevelopment","AskReddit","askscience","AteTheOnion","aww"

Below are the entire contents of the json file (with most subs removed so you can add your own). I didn't have any filters. Copy this into a text file and save it with the extension ".json", and import into wefwef.

{"global":{"favorites":["pics","gaming"],"keyword_filters":[],"distance_scrolled_meters":0},"Your_Name":{"subscribed_subreddits":["videos","movies","technology","todayilearned","gaming","pics"],"subreddit_filters":[]}}

You can just set your phones clock back to june 30th and run the export.

Originally this worked on Apollo 1.15.12, but an update newer than that, 1.15.14, broke this feature (unfortunately).

Maybe I’m gullible and you’re joking, but is there more to it because that didn’t work?

[–] Laxaria 2 points 2 years ago

It used to work on an older version of Apollo but doesn't anymore.

This doesn’t work for me, I still get the same screen. I did do the export but I’d like to save my favorites order.
