I’ve created two 2 instances and am admin of both. I’d like to transfer my account across or at least federate with all my subscriptions. It would take me all day to find all those communities again.
While a direct migration does not exist, since you have access to the data on both instances it would theoretically be possible to export/import the database tables from one to the other. That will require digging and knowledge on your end to figure out which data needs to move over.
Another option would be to duplicate the database from the first instance and connect to that front the second instance. From there make the changes to the second instance by hand.
Just make sure before you go mucking about with and database imports you have a good solid backup in case things go south.
Note: The above is theoretical as I have not setup am instance of Lemmy of my own. Just typical of how a database works.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
Unfortunately no. You cannot migrate accounts at this point in time.
