syncing subscriptions between multiple accounts is a long, tedious process
Want help? I could write you a tool if you want, which would list your subs on all instances and show any differences. Literally can be done within a day.
That'd be nice
that’s… that’s incredibly generous of you!
let me ask a few questions
thanks!
There are several projects along these lines. Here's one of them:

Yeah I thought so, it's not so complicated. This one looks nice.
Here are a couple more:
this is awesome! thanks!
I was thinking just a command line tool, where you could have a config file to put your instances in. Then it would simply use the Lemmy Api and list your subscriptions for each instance. It probably wouldn't work if you have multi factor Auth on your account though since it needs to be able to log in with just username and password. But you could make your passwords super long to increase security that way.
It would maybe be harder to keep things synchronized but depends on the api. If it's possible to subscribe to communities from the api, it would be easy.
I've been wanting to make something with Go to learn it better, so this could be a nice project.
Of course it would be open source. :)
I will look into it a bit next weekend...
awesome! let me know!
Thanks for that offer!
No problem at all. I'm itching for some project and actually got started with something like this in Go anyway to learn it better. :) We will see what comes out of it...
I can't wait til people start working on more tools to interface with lemmy/kbin. Soon the package managers will be full of clients, libraries, interfaces, scripts etc.
not at all meaning to be discouraging, but to solve anything at scale it will all have to be available in a browser or mobile client somehow. luckily with open source different people can work from different angles. :)
And it’s not just subscriptions. It’s also my saved posts.
