Comment on ActivityPub and the End of Walled Gardens, with Evan Prodromou

We urgently need the ability to move your user account to another instance for that to work. At the moment, it’s not easy to move to another Lemmy instance, I would have to redo subscriptions, blocklists and likely pick a different username.

This is now available as of 0.19. Before that you needed a 3rd party tool like lasim.

User data export/import

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.

  Good news, thanks for sharing. Not sure if any iOS apps support it though.
