Really interesting visualisation. I hope they come up with a way soon of transferring accounts to different instances, that way people can migrate off the central ones a lot easier, spreading the load. As you say, rough combo at the moment though
Yeah. I've actually migrated once manually already (was originally on Beehaw), and tbh it wasn't too bad doing it on desktop it was just a case of opening all my subbed communities in new tabs and then copy pasting the new url to replace the old one and hitting refresh. Still an annoyance, but only took about ten minutes once I got into the groove of it.
That said, I did see someone sharing this link yesterday https://github.com/wescode/lemmy_migrate which is apparently a way to automate bringing your subscriptions to a new account. I've not used it so can't vouch for it but it might be worth checking out. Idk what things are like over on .ml or if they've communicated a plan to fix things up but just sharing in case you do decide to move.
