NPR News Now publishes great little 5 minute podcast digests every hour or 2 summarizing the big news items of the day / hour.

Their politics podcast and Trump’s Trials podcast are also good.

All three of these are very U.S. centric, obviously.

But on the other hand, if loans were subject to bankruptcy, most poor people would never be approved to get them.

Absolutely this. There are issues with deletes not federating properly too, right?

That’s a big part of the issue here too since even when .world cleans up the content it’s already been pushed out to every other instance and will now remain there until all THOSE admins also purge it.

Under this broad of a ruleset, all software would have to be open source.

The PR for the necessary back-end changes is out for review on GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3869

That link seems to 404. I will IM you shortly.

Sure thing.

Do you get any additional information in your error log?

If not, would you be open to running a version with additional debugging statements to help identify the cause of the failures?

I know there is an issue when .world is overloaded where this happens, but if it’s happening constantly it has to be something specific with your account vs mine.

LASIM author here - there does not appear to be any API changes in 0.18.4, and it seemed to work fine with my testing.

I’ve updated the table on the Github README to reflect this.

There is nothing built into Lemmy, though there is at least one active PR working on it.

In the meantime I made this tool: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

It copies subscriptions, blocks, and some profile settings.

There are others too if you search for them.

Author of the tool here! If you are okay letting me know the instance, I can definitely take a look and see if I can figure out the issue. I might need to make an account though.

There’s lots of Lemmy instances, and I’m always finding new quirks with different configs. But it’ll help the next person who might run into the same thing!

Apparently not per the post-hack report: https://lemmy.ml/post/1901079

LASIM definitely does not - it’s designed for desktop and written rust, so not easily portable to iOS/Android.

Doesn’t look like lemmy-migrate would either - it’s a python script - unless there’s a mobile python interpreter app or something.

Hey, author of LASIM here if people have any questions!

Just so people know it does save everything to a JSON file when you click “download” so you can absolutely upload to multiple accounts or keep it as a backup.
