Possible to sync subscribed communities across instances? (lemmy.world)

if you have multiple accounts on different Lemmy instances is there a way (a script maybe) that can sync your subscribed communities across the different accounts? say for example, your main instance goes down and you need to login to a different instance but want to see all the same community content

I think the export is trivial using the API. Import could get a little hairier if your new instance doesn't even know about some (or all) of the communities in your export. You'd have to script it to search for the community periodically until it finds it and then join once it does. And you might have to worry about edge cases like importing an old export with communities that may no longer exist.

I really like the idea, though!

I remember reading that account exporting was on the roadmap, but I don't have any source for that. I wish I could be more helpful but I'm mostly just leaving this comment to come back later.
