“EXIT” – Export Across Instances Tool
This is a simple and self-contained tool that helps automate the process of exporting your magazine subscriptions from one instance to another, provided you have accounts on both.
Could also be used to copy subscriptions from one named account to another named account on the same instance, or to back them up for later.

Will this also migrate my blocked lists (instances, magazines, and users)?
If not, does anyone know of a similar tool that will?
I’ve been trying out other kbin/mbin instances since the recent issues with kbin.social’s lack of federation, hoping to open an alt there for backup, but having to manually recreate my block lists isn’t something I’m really wanting to do…
No, it does not. Could be added, in theory.
Ok, thanks. And thanks for making the tool in the first place!
I think for me, at least at the moment the frustration with kbin.social is still less than that of having to start over on a new instance, so I’ll wait it out for now, and hopefully migration tools will continue evolving so it becomes less and less of a hassle as time goes on (I would gladly contribute if I had any relevant knowhow myself, unfortunately that’s not the case).
