Export/Import Communities (lemmy.ml)

Since lemmy.world is having trouble for the second time in three days, I decided to switch back over to my lemmy.ml account. Unfortunately I don't have all of my communities back over here in my .ml account, and it took me over an hour to manually subscribe to the ones I had over on my .world account.

It would be great if there was a way that we could export our community list from one instance and import it to another. It would make it much easier to change communities if the need arises.

Agreed. Ideally we would be able to completely migrate identities between instances. I know Mastodon has this capability (haven't tried it, don't know how difficult it is).
