I've seen people wanting to leave the bigger ones and don't know how to transfer all of their subs and stuff. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) There are already tools for that, and it will probably get easier with time. In general, people should be encouraged to create multiple accounts on different servers from the beginning, so they already have built in options if they want to leave. I use different sorting algorithms on my different accounts and also have different subscriptions, so the front page often looks totally different when I sign into my alts. Some of them are even federated with hexbear 🫣. I always find interesting posts that I missed by doing that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) There are already tools for that, What tools and where can I find them? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com [S] 8 points 2 years ago Settings - Export settings Settings - Import settings permalink fedilink source parent [–] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, that's kind of my point. A lot of people have no clue how the Fediverse works, and so they see that an instance is big and maybe has the name Lemmy in it, and they think that that's going to be the one to give them the best experience.

They have choice in the matter. And if they want to stick with the big ones, because they like some aspect, then they've at least been made aware of what their options are. People should be able to make informed decisions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] CarbonBasedNPU@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] tehn00bi@feddit.org 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I have no idea how this is done, or that it was a thing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago He answers a little bit down.
