There’s a comprehensive list of Lemmy apps being curated here.

Right now I’m using Liftoff.

You might also want to check out this Python script which syncs profiles, communities, and blocks between multiple Lemmy accounts.

That was it exactly. Thank you.

This was a journey, so I’m documenting it here for anyone who might run into a similar situation.

I’m using a Chromebook with Linux enabled.

To confirm my version of Python I ran python --version:

Python 3.9.2

OK! Getting somewhere. So I have to check what distribution of Linux is installed with grep '^PRETTY_NAME' /etc/os-release

PRETTY_NAME=“Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)”

Alright. Google says if I want to upgrade Python on Debian 11 I have to compile it from source. Yikes! But, wait, there’s a PPA - Yay! But the PPA is for Ubuntu - Boo.

There isn’t an active community for ChromeOS on Lemmy yet, but that other website has directions for replacing Debian with Ubuntu.

I’m lazy so I’m not doing that. I’m just going to spin up a temporary Ubuntu container that I can delete later, so my directions are much simpler:

Ctr-Alt-T to enter crosh, the ChromeOS developer shell.

vmc start termina
lxc launch ubuntu:22.04 ubuntu
lxc exec ubuntu -- bash
apt update && apt -y upgrade
add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
apt update
apt install -y python3.11 python3.11-venv
python3.11 -m ensurepip
git clone https://github.com/Ac5000/lemmy_account_sync.git
cd lemmy_account_sync/
pip3.11 install -r requirements.txt
cp exampleconfig.ini src/myconfig.ini
nano src/myconfig.ini
python3.11 src/lemmy_sync.py

Success! I had to escape some special characters in my passwords, but that’s easily Google-able.

I’ll be keeping the container around for a little while to do some periodic syncs. Then I’ll remove it using crosh.

vmc start termina
lxc delete ubuntu --force

I’m getting a TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'NoneType' when I do:

git clone https://github.com/Ac5000/lemmy_account_sync.git
cd lemmy_account_sync/
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp exampleconfig.ini src/myconfig.ini
nano src/myconfig.ini
python3 src/lemmy_sync.py

I’ve confirmed that my [Main Account] and [Account 2] details are correct in myconfig.ini, but beyond that I don’t really know what I’m doing.

TIL wasps swarm, and now I have a new fear.

According to this site wasps might swarm if their nest is disturbed, at a change of season, or to establish a new colony (like @fubo@lemmy.world said.)

I’ve seen this site suggested in posts like this:

I’m using the spoiler tag because elsewhere I’ve seen this warning about the site:

run by people from kiwifarms (a known bad actor on the fediverse).

I’m unfamiliar with “kiwifarms” but the site currently does has some offensive language at the bottom that’s associated with 4chan, so be warned.

That said, it appears to be the only site currently available to see which instances in the fediverse have blocked/defederated your instance. (The reverse of <instance domain>/instances, which only shows which instances your instance has blocked/defederated.)
