Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.
But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.
Give me that hopium guys! 💉

I just signed up for a more local instance, but I’ve been looking for an easier way to swap over my subscriptions
Had the same problem, and someone pointed me to lemmy_migrate by wescode on github, and it worked well. Although it do require a recent version of python installed
I made a tool to do this: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
Also handles blocks and profile settings.
FYI if you are on a very small instance you may need to run it twice because of: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/issues/13
Oh, that’s SUPER useful! Thank you
can you use the same username, or once it was registered in one instance, it cannot longer be used in other instances?
As long as nobody has already taken it on the other instance you can reuse user names.
So if multiple people with the same username from different instances comment in a post, would they differentiate from each other or will it look like the same person?
Depends on what one are using to browse lemmy with. I’m currently using voyager and it seems to show all as just their username, but for example now while replying to you, it shows that I’m replying up electrogamerman@lemmy.world, so I could use that to differentiate you from electrogamerman@lemmy.ml in that way. But no way to confirm if the lemmy.ml is just you on a different instance
You can
