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.
If you find any bugs please report
Sorry I am new to lemmy and fediverse concept.
How is it different from an app like Connect?
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
? You can't use the same strategy for what u do to find communities. (assuming you use the name field to retrieve the community) there is no equivalent
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.
ok ! Thank you!
And yes I still had no clue.
But, I still don't understand something so I will take my exemple.
My conclusion is there's probably something I still don't understand about the fediverse.
If you find the least censored instance, why would you create account on other or multiples instances?
What do I risk missing by staying on an instance without ever switching?
Please send help lol
Ps : Sorry for my bad English
This app would have done step 4 without you having to do it yourself.
As for why to switch instances. It's a matter of preference. The example you gave is a good reason. Obviously if your instance closes you would have to move so it's nice to have a backup just in case
Ok thanks for your reply.
