[β] ieightpi@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (2 children) I wish the admins would come out and give an update as to what is going on. I wish I could migrate my account to another instance. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] OverfedRaccoon@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) You can, sort of. Use LASIM to download your subbed communities next time lemmy.world is up. Make a new account on another instance. Upload your communities to the new account with LASIM. Unfortunately, posts/comments don't go - but you can do like me and just leave a trail between your accounts (if you care enough). I just link to and from my old/new accounts in the bio each time I make one. It's a little janky, but it works - and it's better than waiting hours for lemmy.world to be up for 12 minutes before going down again. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ieightpi@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (2 children) I'm gonna save this reply thanks!

There's also an upload option for if you make a new account someplace else, which can take that backup of your communities and subscribe the new account to all of them automatically, rather than starting from scratch. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases/tag/v0.2.1 download the relevant zip and export your Lemmy.world stuff, you can then import it to any other Lemmy instance. permalink fedilink source parent [β] lechatron@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago There is a status page that tracks the downtime, it's not totally detailed but gives a bit of information about the problem they're dealing with.
