I host my own Lemmy instance and have a user account on it that I use everywhere (I don’t host local communities, I just use it as a home for my Lemmy user account). I needed to re-home my Lemmy server, and though it’s a docker installation, copying the /var/lib/docker/volumes/lemmy_* directories to the new installation didn’t work. So I created a new Lemmy server.
How can I move my old account to the new server, so I can keep all my subscriptions and post/comment history?
In the user settings there’s an option to export everything to a file, then you just import that file into your other account
That only exports settings (general account config, saved posts and comments, blocked users, communities, and instances, etc.). That won’t export all of the user’s own posts and comments.
