Wrote a Python script to sync your accounts across instances. (github.com)

After seeing the work someone else did with migrating your subscriptions across accounts. I took their code and expanded upon it to fully synchronize your Lemmy instance accounts.

Feel free to give it a try. It's been useful for me to have accounts in multiple instances with the instability problems right now from the big influx of users.

Let me know what you think. Hopefully it can help a few people.

Why is this needed?

There's not currently a way to copy your subscriptions across from one instance to another, so if you want to instance hop, you have to go resubscribe to all your communities manually.

Also if you have redundant accounts for when an instance is having trouble (I had errors reaching programming.dev just last night), it seems like you can run this periodically and keep them in sync with each other

Correct. lemmy.world was my original account. But with the server strain going on, I've hopped over to lemm.ee and also have a couple other accounts. Just run this script every so often and all your accounts will more or less feel like the same account.
