Since lemmy.world is having trouble for the second time in three days, I decided to switch back over to my lemmy.ml account. Unfortunately I don’t have all of my communities back over here in my .ml account, and it took me over an hour to manually subscribe to the ones I had over on my .world account.
It would be great if there was a way that we could export our community list from one instance and import it to another. It would make it much easier to change communities if the need arises.
It would be best if activitypub could somehow keep one account across all instances
Yep. It’s an issue that comes up again and again. “nomadic identity” is the name commonly given to it. Search or ask around and you may find conversations about it. It is probably the single most objectively lacking aspect of the fediverse given how often people independently realise it.
