I host my own Lemmy instance and have a user account on it that I use everywhere (I don’t host local communities, I just use it as a home for my Lemmy user account). I needed to re-home my Lemmy server, and though it’s a docker installation, copying the /var/lib/docker/volumes/lemmy_* directories to the new installation didn’t work. So I created a new Lemmy server.
How can I move my old account to the new server, so I can keep all my subscriptions and post/comment history?
You can’t keep your comment history on a brand new account.
Aren’t the Lemmy volumes bind mounts, so not in the docker volumes folder but instead on the file system as mapped in the docker-compose.yml file?
