Is there a good tool to transfer subscribed communities to a new account on a different instance?

Or is it faster to do it manually? I am subscribed to almost 120 different communities, so would save a few clicks not having to do it manually.

Assuming your current instance is on 19.0 or higher, which most instances are now. If your on an instance thatโ€™s still running 18, it isnโ€™t available.

Ah, I only checked via Voyager app since I'm mostly browsing Lemmy via mobile. But then I'll find this later tonight in browser, thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

This tool exists on github.com to do just that. Not sure if it works with ver 0.19 though, it is a few months old.

There's an assumption in the comments that this is Lemmy-specific, so I figured I should also mention a tool I used recently when copying subscriptions from a kbin instance to an mbin instance.
