See the linked page for information about how it works, limitations, etc. and I'll of course answer any questions below!

As I have stated in the release section, this software is alpha so please don't be afraid to report bugs!

Releases are here: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/releases

Right now the program only supports Lemmy BE 0.18.1-rc9, but new releases will try to support new versions as they are released. The Lemmy API is changing a ton right now, but I'll try to keep up.

The culture appearing in the Lemmy/Kbin universe reminds me of some gaming communities where people help each other, some by giving advice or tips they've learned, others by using their skills to create addon tools to solve a problem.

For sure! The whole reason I made this was because I saw so many posts asking for a way to do this.

That said, it's obviously a stop-gap until the devs add an official way to do this via Lemmy itself, but the last time I saw them talk about that it was (understandably) pretty low on their priority list - and I'm not nearly comfortable enough in rust or databases to make a PR to Lemmy itself - at least not yet.

Amazing, this will help users move to smaller instances!

I've manually just migrated but will keep this in mind for future, thanks!

[–] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Awesome work, can't wait to see how it progresses as well!

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I’ve not used this, but wanted to say thanks for making it! I’m sure it’ll be indispensable to some.

I'm trying to use it, but I keep getting an error, "missing field infinite_scroll_enabled"

I have no idea what's going on lol

[–] CMahaff@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you give me the instance I can confirm, but that field was added in Lemmy 0.18.3, and I suspect the instance you are trying to use doesn't support that yet. You can see the Lemmy version at the bottom of the page.

LASIM 0.2.0 only supports Lemmy 0.18.3.

LASIM 0.1.2 only supports Lemmy 0.18.2.

So you can wait for your instance to upgrade and then use LASIM 0.2.0, or you can use the older LASIM 0.1.2.

Note: if say your old instance is Lemmy 0.18.2, and the new one is Lemmy 0.18.3, you can use LASIM 0.1.2 to download, then use LASIM 0.2.0 to upload.

Yeah, I eventually realized that. I'm an idiot. I knew there were two versions, but my dumb ass didn't bother to check both instances.

Thank you very much for the help, and the tool itself
