Transfer posts, saves, and comments to a different Lemmy account (lemmy.ml)

Apologize if this is a dupe, but is there a way to transfer one's acoount from one lemmy instance to another? Ideally, it involves one's posts and comments, but definitely one's saves. Both accounts are active and in good health.

Thanks!

You can export/import your account settings on the settings page, which includes also the following data:

subscribed communities
saved posts
saved comments
blocked communities
blocked users
blocked instances

There is no way to associate content you have previously posted/commented with your new account however.
You might need to import the file multiple times to get everything imported.

Thank you. Will look into it.

I'm going to say no there isn't.

Thats impossible. It would break a lot of connections, federation. Saves could be done if the account is on the same instance.
