How can I migrate my lemmy account to another lemmy instance? (lemm.ee)

I'm currently on lemm.ee and I'd like to migrate to lemmy.eco.br, both are using the 0.19.5 backend version.

I remember reading some discussions in the past about being able to migrate instances, is it already possible? Is it being developed? How's the status of this feature?

Go to your settings, export your settings, then import them on the new account.

That's it. If you want to be fancy, you can add your new account on your old bio and vice-versa, but that's mostly it.

If you want to keep your "reputation", use the same username on both sides, people will recognize you.

Very interesting. Thank you very much, Blaze :)

Oh. Interesting. What do you keep when you export?

Subscription list, blocking list (users, communities and instances). Could be other stuff too, but that's the most important when migrating
