There was a good write up here:

There's an import and export feature. You can click on the gear symbol (at the top, right) and go to "Import & Export" export your settings and subscriptions on the old instance, and import them on the new one. That will at least take care of your subscriptions and user settings.

@dosdude@retrofed.com may l transfer my account @loveespresso@cafe.coffee-break.cc to your instance ?

[–] DosDude@retrofed.com 1 points 4 days ago

Sure. Account approved!

Why did you direct me to the lemmy version ?

Did you even bother to try? Because I just tried with my piefed account and it works, including the links the OOP provided for you.

So was your reply born of laziness? Or your typical bad faith posting?

I need to sit at the laptop to do this, and all my time and energy went in configuring git and setting up SSH key. It's my brother's laptop, and it's not accessible always.

I was able to do it from my phone while on the toilet this morning.

Hello there, l've downloaded and imported the JSON file. It only imported my subscriptions. But my main account and the posts that l have made isn't showing up.

Going to bed now ! Shall catch up tomorrow !!

You cannot import your posts or comments. You can only import subscriptions, saved posts/comments, settings, and blocks.

Then my problem remains unsolved. The admin of that instance insists me to transfer everything.

You cannot transfer an account, it cannot be done.
