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
For me, the ol' days was yesterday, when I came to terms with the idea that VLemmy wasn't coming back, and I manually copied over all my subscriptions from a duplicate account.
This could be useful, however, I'm not sure if I want to merge my accounts. I made 3 to split the communities I want to follow, but I notice I mainly use 1. (this one ;) )
Also, no clue (yet) how the ConfigParser handles spaces in arguments. (and how to solve this if the answer is 'not well')
Cautiously assuming it's a false positive, but LASIM is throwing some warnings from VirusTotal for the Windows version, saying it's a password stealer (VHO:Trojan-PSW.Win32.Agent.gen). Given the nature of what it does, I can understand it being flagged. Nothing when scanned directly with AV. Figured it was worth at least mentioning.
You can see my responses - I'm not sure there is much I can do, but I'm open to suggestions.
As stated in the linked issue, the most secure thing is to build it yourself or download directly from GitHub actions vs trusting the binaries I publish to releases.
