If you are comfortable with using command line stuff, I found this little Python script perfect for my needs. I copied my subscriptions from my original instance to two others:

https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate

I don't know enough programming to know whether the tool could be stealing my authentication, but my passwords are random and I don't really care if anything happens to those.

Edit: You have to run this when the servers are actually functioning. I was migrating my stuff away from my lemmy.world account because of the overloading there, and the server was pretty slow while it was copying my subscriptions. I ran it again an hour later and it picked up the few subscriptions it missed on the first pass. It's smart enough to check if the new server has a particular community subscription already in place.

Yes, and during the day before a colonoscopy you will become super Einstein - based on the amount of time you spend on the toilet.

Are the sites with other top level domains like archive.is the same company? I've seen requests to donate to various Archive sites but I can tell if they are all the same company.

I would like to see Jimmy Wales run Twitter and Reddit clones. If there is anyone that you can trust to not turn a website into a commercial entity, it's the guy running one of the world's most visited site with no advertising.

Maybe Wikimedia can host Mastodon and Lemmy server.

Either him or the guy who runs Craigslist, with no obvious intentions of trying to wring money out his site

If that's your dumbest idea, you are undervalued wherever you work. That sounds like a pretty interesting idea.

I'm assuming this doesn't involve intra-military emails, because that would be trivial to prevent. It's probably because of people sending from another domain. Like if [email protected] is sending an email to [email protected], but he mistypes the .mil part because he is using his iPhone while riding his motorcycle with a girl on the back.

A more realistic example would be [email protected] sending an email to [email protected] to discuss some upcoming meeting about a new aircraft contract.

I bounce between my several installed Lemmy apps whenever one of them locks up :)

I'm a little confused about a comment in the article that says the Mali military will be taking over the .ml domain on Monday. Is the country of Mali going to start using a different domain next week?

Just a follow-up to this advice to anyone looking for the RSS feed, you just add .rss at the end of the subreddit name. For example:

https://www.reddit.com/r/news.rss

They certainly used a lot of space to give the trigonometry lesson. It seems like it would be useful to skip that section and make the metric conversion charts bigger and easier to read.

Bob and Doug Mackenzie thought me to roughly convert C to F by taking the temperature in Celsius, doubling it and then adding 30. It gets you in the ballpark.

I was using one of the various publicly-hosted teddit sites (like https://teddit.privacytools.io/, which is currently rate-limited). It is pretty easy to import your Reddit subscriptions into one of these instances and have it show just your normal subscription content. You can't comment, but it was nice for lurking while Lemmy content was still coming up to speed.

I was able to easily launch a Teddit instance on my Linux server yesterday for my own usage using the Docker instructions on this site. It's not rate limited because I'm the only person using it.

https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

I just saved that example into a file called "teddit.yml", and made the changes that they mention for non production usage:

Change ports: - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080" to ports: - "8080:8080" Remove DOMAIN=teddit.net, USE_HELMET=true, USE_HELMET_HSTS=true, TRUST_PROXY=true

Then I just ran this command and I can use it on my home network.

sudo docker-compose -f ~/docker/compose/teddit.yml up -d

I just access it with a browser at http://192.168.1.6:8080

For getting your Reddit subscriptions loaded into it, there is a trick to get a text list of your list of Reddit subscriptions, which you then just paste into a .json file and import into any teddit instance from the webpage. See the bottom of this post.

The .json file just contains this, with your list of subscriptions in a comma-separated string with double quotes: {"subbed_subreddits":["AskReddit","LifeProTips","Music"],"theme":"dark","flairs":"true","nsfw_enabled":"true","highlight_controversial":"true","post_media_max_height":"medium","collapse_child_comments":"false","show_upvoted_percentage":"true","show_upvotes":"true","videos_muted":"true","domain_twitter":"","domain_youtube":"","domain_instagram":"undefined","domain_quora":"","domain_imgur":"","prefer_frontpage":"true","show_large_gallery_images":"false","default_comment_sort":"best"}

----------- Downloading your Reddit subscriptions as a text string ---------

1.) Visit this site in a desktop browser while logged into your account: https://www.reddit.com/subreddits

2.) Paste this into the address bar, but don't press enter yet.

javascript:$('body').replaceWith(''+$('.subscription-box').find('li').find('a.title').map((_, d) => $(d).text()).get().join("\",\"")+'');javascript.void()

{I'm not sure if the formatting of that command always displays properly on Lemmy or your app. The part in the join() section is: doublequote backslash doublequote comma backslash doublequote doublequote}

3.) You might have to manually type the "javascript" text at the beginning of that command in the address bar because I found that Windows or the browser ignores that part when you paste.

4.) Press enter, and you should get a text list of your subscriptions displayed in your browser that you can copy and paste into any text document, like the above-mentioned.json file. Just manually add a leading and trailing double quote to make it work with that teddit.json format.
