I wish lemmy could have an option like mastodon where you can move your account to another instace without losing your subscriptions , saved posts , posts ,comments .etc. (feddit.ch)

Is it on the road map ? Like it would be really useful when an instance it going to shut down or an instace admin goes volatile , so we don't have to manage several accounts .

Update : it does have the feature well kinda you can only import setting and subscribtion no saved posts or anything . To do this you have to go to the web page, sign in , setting , import . Hope this was helpfull.

Subscriptions, block lists and general settings can be exported and imported since version 0.19.X

Mastodon doesn't allow to import posts due to technical limitations (as it would also a security risks, anyone being able to massively inject posts into an instance):

Your posts will not be moved, due to technical limitations.

Can you tell me how i can do that i couldn't find any resources for that at lemmy.org

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

lemmy.org still runs on version 0.18.2 so it doesn't have that feature.

They are on feddit.ch so it's all good. The Lemmy documentation should be hosted elsewhere, but it seems to be behind feature development, the latest ones are not explained: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/06-other-features.html
