Its not native to the platform but the Interstellar app has an option to transfer subscriptions between lemmy and mbin accounts. Add both accounts to the app then go to Settings -> BETA: Data Utilities -> Migrate Account, follow the steps and it should copy across subscriptions and blocks.
Comment on Mbin v1.9.0 release (stable)

Okay, dumb question…
I signed up for an Mbin instance some time ago, but I never used it. I couldn’t find a way to import my subscriptions from Lemmy, and I didn’t want to have to manually subscribe 1 by 1. I went back to look, and I still can’t find a way.
Am I just missing it, or does it not exist?

Thanks for this, and I did try it. It sort of worked, I had 400 and change subscriptions, and it got like 180 of them. The rest errored out. I don’t know if that means they’re inactive or just not able to be transferred.

Hmm they probably haven't been federated yet with the instance you're moving to so couldn't subscribe.

Do Lemmy and PieFed support transferring subscriptions?
Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 3 weeks ago
Yep. You can export your subscriptions through the settings, and then import them into a new instance.

Had no idea, thank you!

It doesn't exist except there's a script out there somewhere that will click the buttons for you iirc. No idea where it is or if it's maintained anymore though :(

I was afraid of that. That’s going to be a major hurdle in getting anyone who’s already established on Lemmy or Piefed to move over to Mbin.

Is there a way to export your mbin subscriptions?
