Transfer favorite communities between accounts? (sh.itjust.works)

Is it possible to transfer favorite communities from an account on one server to another? Say for example I'd like to have an alt with the same favorites on another server for a backup. Is this possible with wefwef or other means?

Looking to get my main off lemmy.world to help load balance, but I don't want to refavorite everything; if I could somehow keep them in sync that would be ideal.

Here is a python script doing exactly this:

Good find!

I lazily tried asking Bing Chat to write a python script like this but nothing it wrote worked. It even made up fake APIs to do it. Kinda funny.

Does it also transfer blocked communities?

Sorry, can‘t say. I tried it with mine and it worked, but there weren‘t any blocked ones.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing

I know this isn’t what your asking for but I just did this manually. Took like 45 min or so. I took a screenshot of all the communities I’ve followed so far and searched them. Then I went through with the Apollo JSON feature and double checked that I didn’t miss anything. The time you spend finding a script is probably better spent just doing this tbh. I actually found even more communities that didn’t exist when I did this originally after my reddit migration
