The app that synchronizes multiple lemmy accounts so you can migrate and keep backup accounts across instances, it’s opensource and free, currently working in android and windows.
It’s in homologation now and anyone can test, any feedbacks are welcome as always.

I’m fine with the username, but that RGB profile pic is a bit much.
My client (Eternity) doesn’t seem to support Animated PFPs.

Probably not a big deal but your username autopopulates the login field.
Holy shit I forgot to take it out lol, thanks for the reminder
I thought it was a feature lol
This would be way too egocentric 😅
This should be in the lemmy code. Federate out accounts.
Seriously, would it be possible to integrate Lemmy Handshake into Lemmy source code?
I feel this should be part of the core package.
Thank you for this, worked like a charm!
Wow, great to know!
That logo is trippy
Not much effort was put in it I must say
I enjoy it
It is a good logo
Beware!
This unsubscribed me from twenty+ communities on all of my instances. It first tried to subscribe all of my accounts to all of the communities of my largest instance, which is what I wanted it to do. One instance failed to sub to 20+ communities, which was fine, as it was a smaller instance.
Ten minutes later, however, I got a notification that it had unsubscribed all of my other instances from those communities as well. It took me about an hour to figure out most of the ones that had been lost, and even now I think I’m missing a few.
I’m sorry it happened, it definitely should not do it, could you describe the steps you made to trigger this behavior? So I can patch it ASAP?
Please add a logging functionality, so that even if something like that would happen in the future because of some special case bug, it would still be possible to figure out which subscriptions were removed.
Same thing happened to me, it seemed like it didn’t do it when I had just two accounts, but it did do it when I had 3.
Not sure if it has anything to do with certain communities not being federated to the other instances
Here is everything I can remember doing:
-
Downloaded the apk
-
Installed and opened the program
-
Allowed notifications
-
Input my four instances: lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, lemmy.basedcount.com, and lemmy.ml
-
Hit “sync” and watched them sync. Three of these instances had almost the same number of communities (around 120), but one had none whatsoever. It took two or three minutes for that instance (basedcount) to sync all of the communities, and in the end, it wasn’t able to subscribe to about 20 of them for some reason. (maybe because nobody had ever gone to/searched for those communities from that instance before - I’ve heard this can lead to access problems, but you’d probably know more about that than I would)
-
About five minutes later, I got couple of notifications saying that 6(-ish) communities had been synced and that 18(-ish) had been unsubscribed across my instances. This confused me, so I checked my instance list and saw that all three of my instances with around 120 communities now had around 95.
-
I disabled notifications because they were starting to feel spammy.
-
I looked at the notification again and realized what had actually happened. I immediately uninstalled the program and resubscribed to as many communities as I could on lemm.ee, my main account.
Sorry this is so long - I hope it helps!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, it will be so helpful for sure
No reddthat too? 😜
Ooh, great suggestion - I just signed up there as well! Thanks!

Do you accept PRs? I’d love to setup an iOS build for this
Of course, I’d love iOS support but I don’t have iphone
Would love to have this on iOS 🙏🏻
LASIM is similar and while it won’t run on iOS it will work on *Nix, Windows, and MacOS.
Unfortunately I’m basically 99% mobile only in my personal life, and while I could drag out my laptop for this it would just be hella nice to have an iOS app for the function. Thank you for the think, though!
:: cries in iOS ::
The code can be compiled to iOS with a few increments but I don’t have the knowledge to do so
Amazing! You have just filled the biggest crevice of Lemmy! Thank you!!
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be working for accounts with 2FA. Had to disable it to get the job done.
Vish, this is really an issue, I’ll add it to issues so I can check if it’s possible to fix later
Awesome to hear. It has already been useful for me, just so I could move my subscriptions to another instance, because the one I’m on has been under fire lately.
Ooh syncs saved posts as well! Definitely downloading this
Edit: Ah that’s not ready yet. Still very cool
Soon it will sync, I didn’t have much time last weekend
Maybe now people can finally spread out… It’s just sad to see everyone on Lemmy.world as if it was the new Gmail or something.
One of the main reasons I did it, so people can spread across instances
My company blocks lemmy.zip on WiFi, but lets lemmy.world through. So I tried to be on something other than lemmy.world, but still use it about half the time.
Wow finally! Hopefully this gets released for iOS also

Any plan on Mac and Linux version soon?
I don’t own a Mac, but I plan to compile it to Linux soon
Thanks for supporting linux, please consuder flatpak instead of making a binary per distro

This is REALLY cool and helpful. I just tried it with the 3 accounts I have and it worked flawlessly.
Only suggestion would be to have the app check a servers defederated list and disregard any communities that you cannot subscribe too. This would prevent a lot of errors that happen when going through the sync. This is pretty minor as the app does seem to skip the community after the error but I suspect it would be a little faster if it just rejectected the community via internal software. Some users who are not aware of defederated communities may get confused by the errors as well.
Maybe this isn’t very realistic? If it isn’t, never mind. :)
I’m thinking about how to get rid of those errors, this might the solution but I think there isn’t a way to check the list of defederated instances, one thing I’ll implement soon is to expire synchronization tries after x days so the list won’t grow forever
Glad the app helped you
