With the vlemmy situation ongoing, i feel like it would be useful to put this here (i did not make either of these tools)

Lemmy Account Settings Instance Migrator (LASIM) copies all your subscribed communities and blocks and lets you upload them to another account, in just a few clicks

lemmy-migrate does the same thing but without a GUI and support for uploading your backup to multiple accounts at once

    Am I just super dumb? I don’t see instructions on how to actually run LASIM? The instructions say that’s the first thing you do but don’t say how

      The linked GitHub has a “releases” section. Download for your platform. Double click executable.

        Thank you! I’ve somehow never used this “releases” section of GitHub before 🙃
