The app that synchronizes multiple lemmy accounts so you can migrate and keep backup accounts across instances, it’s opensource and free, currently working in android and windows.
It’s in homologation now and anyone can test, any feedbacks are welcome as always.

Maybe now people can finally spread out… It’s just sad to see everyone on Lemmy.world as if it was the new Gmail or something.
FUCKER thanks you for this application.
is the fucker some kind of emoji I’m missing or are you guys just being friendly
Android and windows. Two things I don’t use. Can you at make a Linux version?
Sorry I am new to lemmy and fediverse concept.
How is it different from an app like Connect?
This synchronizes subscribed communities between instances if you have accounts on more than one instance. Connect is for browsing and posting.
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.
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.
Connect is a client, it shows Lemmy content and let you interact with them
Handshake is an account synchronizer, it syncs multiple accounts so you can keep accounts across instances with the same communities and soon saved and banned content
How are you gonna implement saved/banned content replication? Alls ids for posts are local to that instance, how are going to find one post from on instance in another. It might not even exist yet.
That’s a problem to the future me 😅, but I’ve seen it’s possible to learn about a communities, hopefully it’s the same strategy
This is REALLY cool and helpful. I just tried it with the 3 accounts I have and it worked flawlessly.
Only suggestion would be to have the app check a servers defederated list and disregard any communities that you cannot subscribe too. This would prevent a lot of errors that happen when going through the sync. This is pretty minor as the app does seem to skip the community after the error but I suspect it would be a little faster if it just rejectected the community via internal software. Some users who are not aware of defederated communities may get confused by the errors as well.
Maybe this isn’t very realistic? If it isn’t, never mind. :)
I’m thinking about how to get rid of those errors, this might the solution but I think there isn’t a way to check the list of defederated instances, one thing I’ll implement soon is to expire synchronization tries after x days so the list won’t grow forever
Glad the app helped you
