Basically title.

I know some info was shared on the other thread, but now Lemmy.world is back up (as always, kudos to the team!), I guess we can discuss lemmy.one here

that’s… that’s incredibly generous of you!

let me ask a few questions

  1. how would this be implemented? as a bash script? run via the browser somehow?
  2. is there some way for the script to actually synchronize subs between accounts (additive)?
  3. what else could it do?
  4. could you open-source this and post it to GitHub so this amazing tool could be shared with others?

thanks!

There are several projects along these lines. Here's one of them:

Yeah I thought so, it's not so complicated. This one looks nice.

I was thinking just a command line tool, where you could have a config file to put your instances in. Then it would simply use the Lemmy Api and list your subscriptions for each instance. It probably wouldn't work if you have multi factor Auth on your account though since it needs to be able to log in with just username and password. But you could make your passwords super long to increase security that way.

It would maybe be harder to keep things synchronized but depends on the api. If it's possible to subscribe to communities from the api, it would be easy.

I've been wanting to make something with Go to learn it better, so this could be a nice project.

Of course it would be open source. :)

I will look into it a bit next weekend...

awesome! let me know!

Thanks for that offer!

No problem at all. I'm itching for some project and actually got started with something like this in Go anyway to learn it better. :) We will see what comes out of it...

I can't wait til people start working on more tools to interface with lemmy/kbin. Soon the package managers will be full of clients, libraries, interfaces, scripts etc.

not at all meaning to be discouraging, but to solve anything at scale it will all have to be available in a browser or mobile client somehow. luckily with open source different people can work from different angles. :)
