I found the lemmyverse super confusing for the longest time, especially how so wildly different looking sites would interact.
I see every so often people talking about more than one account on different instances.
Why should i, or why shouldnt use more than one?
What benefits would I, a very average user gain from it?
Yep, if you are on Windows just extract that .exe somewhere and then run it.
The README is displayed underneath the screenshots on the link to LASIM above. It tells you how to run it. See “How it Works”.

The latest version supports any Lemmy 0.18.3 instance. You can see which version a Lemmy instance is at the bottom of site. For example, your instance, reddthat.com, is 0.18.3. Most instances should have upgraded to 0.18.3 already - choose one of those. Any instance running 0.18.3 should work, big or small.
The account you “download” with won’t be touched at all. The account you “upload to” will receive all the subscriptions and blocks of the downloaded account.
I got an error log: Unexpected Error Occurred: “called Option::unwrap() on a None value”
Could be some kind of new bug, but I’ve also seen this happen when an instance is under heavy load or otherwise glitching out - it’s starts sending back invalid items on the API and LASIM chokes on them.
For what it’s worth I made an account on reddthat.com and was able to download and upload to it fine.
Maybe try again? Or is this some other instance? (I’m making assumptions based on your account)
I will try this again tomorrow and see. Also, when I hit download, the window below that showed logging in successful (don’t remember exact words) after that the whole application window vanished. I tried this twice with same result. Later I found that error file. Maybe something in my os might be blocking it? Later when I have time I try it on my old laptop which is on windows 10 and see what happens.
