Is there a tool that makes it easy to migrate to a different lemmy instance? The idea is copying my subscriptions over to the new instance. Thanks.

If you search by the full URL of the sub and make sure that Search is set to “All” it will show up eventually. If you then subscribe, your instance will then be federated and start to receive info from that community but it does take a bit of time to get.

If you join a medium-sized but weeks-old instance then it is likely to already have been federated and you won’t have much of a headache.

So the instances that individual users are subscribed to are what show up in your default instance feed? I thought the default feed for your instance was just which communities your instance set to show. So if someone is subbed to, say, underwater-needle-felting and they are on my instance, I will see underwater-needle-felting stuff on my main feed? Do those show up when I switch to subscribed instead of main?

You’ll see it if you search for it and in All, but it won’t be in your Local or Subscribe feed

Yes to everything except the last part, if you switch to subscribed, you see your subscriptions.
