Comment on A web app to easily transfer your user data from one Lemmy instance to another
Emotet@slrpnk.net 4 months agoThe whole point of this being a web app is to make it as easy as possible for the user to download/modify/transfer their user data. LASIM is a traditional app the user has to download and install, similar to a script this web app was developed to replace due to being too difficult to use for some users.
The import functionality targeted by this API is additive and my app features a built-in editor to add, modify or remove information as the user sees fit. To achieve your stated goal, you’d have to remove anything except the blocked_users
entries before importing, which my app supports.
I may add options to modify the exported data in some ways via a simple checkbox in the future, but I wouldn’t count on it. I’m always open for pull requests!

Thanks for the info!
The 2nd screenshot github.com/…/How-to-only-export-or-transfer-a-par… shows that feature already exists?

Indeed it does, I was talking about adding a checkbox tagged “Only transfer blocked users” instead of having to click through some menus.
