  Is LASIM able to do this? I don’t know where it stores the database file.

    It stores it as a JSON in the same directory as the executable.

    Yes. It downloads a json file. For me, it went straight to my desktop.

    Iirc, it doesn’t include saved posts/comments yet (correct me if I’m wrong) as well as your original account’s post/comment history.
