Hey All,
I’m an (old 😉) IT guy, very excited by the #fediverse and trying to find my way amongst various services.
As an example, I started gathering topics I like on a Lemmy account. Then, I got tempted to create different accounts on smaller instances and try out kbin.
I’d love that my « subscriptions » follow me, so that I don’t have to scan all my « magazines » and re-register from everywhere.
Can someone kindly help me on how I can achieve that? Apologies if the question is naive, but given the decentralised nature of those services, shouldn’t each user have a « local » trace of what they follow (for example on a local app), no matter the service, so that they get « their view », their « window » on the #fediverse?
Many thanks for the #fedihelp and again my apologies for the probably basic questions!
AFAIK there are no tools like that, yet. Keep in mind that Lemmy (and surely Kbin too as I think it’s newer) are still very young applications (Lemmy is on version 0.17/18 currently). Development will probably accelerate now as it brought a lot of interest in developers and, as I understand it right now, the github is very active right now.
Mastodon does have migration tools to carry your follows with you, so it’s definitely possible and are probably coming soon.
