So I wrote a little web app that allows a user to move their user data, like settings and subscribed/banned communities, from one account/instance to another.

It runs completely client-side, but is hosted on GitHub for the moment. Maybe it'll be of some use!

Features:

Export user data from any Lemmy instance (>=v0.19)
Download user data as a text file
Modify user data in the browser, e.g. to add or remove followed instances
Transfer user data to the target account on the target instance

The code is completely written in JavaScript, so all the code is readable if you look at the source, which is also available on the GitHub page. https://stablenarwhal.github.io/LemmyInstanceMover/js/script.js

It looks like it uses a Lemmy API endpoint to transfer account settings.
