Why do the instances keep going down? It makes me think that this is not a reliable social network, but the alternatives are not as good.

How do you keep communities aligned across the accounts?

I made a tool that can help: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim

It allows you to synchronize subscriptions, blocks, and profile settings between accounts.

(though FYI different versions only gracefully handle a specific API version at a time so there's some limitations right now as instances upgrade from 0.18.2 to 0.18.3 - see my comment here: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2094948 )

EDIT: Second link isn't working - must be a Lemmy bug. But you can see it as a recent post on my profile.

What API-breaking changes did you find?

[-] CMahaff@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

A super minor one, but there's a new "infinite scrolling" boolean added to the user settings.

There's no official way that I know of. I believe it's in the backlog of desires features on both Lemmy and Kbin. I will say it may be longer until there's a migration between the two platforms, but there are some unofficial migrations out there between two accounts utilizing the same platform (like one Lemmy instance to another or one kbin instance to another).
