    How does one “move” to a different instance? Or do I have to make a new account and start over?

      You create a new account on a new instance and then you export your subscriptions and settings from your old Lemmy server to your new ones, you lose your comment history but that doesn’t really matter on Lemmy like your post history does on Masto

        When you say export, is there a tool for that for, like, mass exporting your subs? Or do I have to manually search each one and sub again?

        I ask because I’ve been meaning to switch to my alt, but I made a point of subbing to as many communities as possible to make Lemmy more fun to use for me, and good lord, it’s a lot to do.
