▲ 36 ▼ What's the best way to combine two Lemmy accounts? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago by Narc082@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 8 comments fedilink hide all child comments If I have two Lemmy accounts can I have all of my subscriptions combined so they show up on both? I don't really need them synced live but I just want to have all subs on both. I have some subs that are the same on both servers, but also extra subs on both that the other doesn't have. If this seems like it breaks rule 5, please direct me elsewhere. I figured support@Lemmy.World is just for server issues.

The import functionality in Lemmy is additive in nature, meaning anything you import gets added on top of existing settings instead of replacing it. Does the same thing as these manual instructions for this usecase, may be helpful to some. permalink fedilink source parent

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) You can export account settings and then import them into another user. I’m not sure it takes communities with though. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) It does includes subs, but it'll overwrite the existing when you import, I think. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) What's the formatting? It's designed to be easily parsed by a computer, so I can't imagine a whole lot of complexity in a script to merge them. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) JSON.
