After the defederating of Beehaw, I made an account on lemmy.world. Is it possible to sync the communities I was subscribed to on Beehaw with my new Lemmy.world account? Or do I have to do it manually?

    At the moment, it’s not possible.

    Mastodon added the ability to export and import accounts, so some day Lemmy might work in a similar way.

    Mastodon can do that. Lemmy not at the moment. But it’s a very needed features.

    And hopefully not just users, but the transfer of an entire community should theoretically be possible. Like mods of !A@lemmy.A decided to migrate the community to !A@lemmy.B and all subscribers to the community are transferred. It is possible in principle

    You can do it manually, but if you’re operating from your lemmy.world account Beehaw communities won’t update for you. You can only view what was posted before the defederation, if I’m understanding things correctly.
