Can you sync across to kbin?

I don't think kbin (excluding artemis.camp) supports API use yet so that'll be a no. Also kbin is different than lemmy (still federated over activitypub but different platform) so it needs to specifically be supported, won't work with a lemmy client.

Good question. Will it sync with artemis.camp that does support a developmental API?

I'm getting error : unable to get user data

[-] gusVLZ@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Hmm, weird which instance? Lemmy.world was offline earlier

[-] transistor@lemdro.id 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Tried it with lemmy.world and lemdro.id. same error in both cases. Update : It now works for some reason.

Okay, I'm not technologically illiterate, but I can't figure out how to get this to run on my Windows laptop. I got to the link, but I don't see what to download. Any help?

[-] gusVLZ@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I'll provide the .exe tomorrow, you can download the source and compile to windows also but you would need to install flutter which is a pain in the ass

You should see if you can use GitHub Actions to automate builds - they should be unlimited / free for public repos.

[-] gusVLZ@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

I'll look for it

[-] Nusm@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Just wondering if you had time to make an .exe for Windows of this? I don't see it on the download link.

[-] gusVLZ@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I tried but the exe came out all buggy and almost anything worked.

I'll have to fix it

[-] Nusm@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the update!

Sorry I am new to lemmy and fediverse concept.

How is it different from an app like Connect?

[-] aaronstc@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This synchronizes subscribed communities between instances if you have accounts on more than one instance. Connect is for browsing and posting.

[-] turbonewbe@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I dont get it because I have accounts on several instances. I can add them into Connect and it seems I can see post from all my instances.

[-] aaronstc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

In case you're still wondering. This app can take all your subscriptions from lemm.ee and copy them to another instance. When you switch to that instance and go to your subscribed everything should be on the second instance.

This way you don't have to subscribe manually on multiple instances. I believe blocks will be added as well.

[-] turbonewbe@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

ok ! Thank you!

And yes I still had no clue.

But, I still don't understand something so I will take my exemple.

  1. I created my first account on Lemmy world.
  2. Because they decided to censor piracy they weren't anymore in line with my philosophy (I'm not pro piracy, I'm against arbitrary censorship)
  3. So I created a second account on Lemm.ee after learning about their principles.
  4. From there I resubscribed to my subs and I never feel the need to go back to Lemmy world.

My conclusion is there's probably something I still don't understand about the fediverse.

If you find the least censored instance, why would you create account on other or multiples instances?

What do I risk missing by staying on an instance without ever switching?

Please send help lol

Ps : Sorry for my bad English

[-] aaronstc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This app would have done step 4 without you having to do it yourself.

As for why to switch instances. It's a matter of preference. The example you gave is a good reason. Obviously if your instance closes you would have to move so it's nice to have a backup just in case

[-] turbonewbe@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Ok thanks for your reply.

I don't have any backup accounts to make use of this, but this is a great tool!

That's awesome, thank you!
