I am guessing this is not a current function within Jerboa; however, is there an easier way of sharing your community list with a second account on a different instance than individually searching for communities?

If I am within one instance, I may not see the same communities available to join as I do from another instance. I have had to go into the individual instances and search for !community@instance in order to add a bunch of communities to subscribe to.

Was wondering if at a later point, perhaps Jerboa might have the ability to sync subs between accounts on different instances.

Thanks for all the work you have put into this app. Really enjoying it so far.

    This seems to me like it’s the most important aspect of making an account portable between instances, I’m hoping that something like this gets implemented in short order.

      totally agree : federation makes sense only if you can import/export your preferences to another instance

    There’s a lemmy issue for this at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/506, but it’s unresolved. That issue is for a comprehensive account export, which is more than you’re asking for.

    It may be that today there is already some API that returns this list as JSON or something, the UI certainly displays some data about your subscribed community list and it must be getting that from somewhere. But I’m not familiar with this myself.
