Thanks for this! Just gave this a try, downloaded from .world just fine, but uploading to .ml gives this error: ERROR: Failed Login - HTTP status client error (403 Forbidden) for url (https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/user/login)

That usually means wrong username/password! But if you’re sure, I can make an account on lemmy.ml and give it a shot.

Thanks for the feedback. The username and password are indeed correct. I copied and pasted from Bitwarden and used the exact same ones to login to the lemmy.ml site. I do wonder if there is some sort of anti-bot measures that Colonel Sanders mentioned below.

Also: I tried just my username vs email but neither worked and I also don’t have MFA enabled yet. Super weird.

EDIT: opened an issue on Github: https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim/issues/4

I have a fix! Merging the branch and dropping a new release shortly. Thanks for reporting this!

I’m not very tech savvy when it comes to this, but would it have anything to do with the anti-bot stuff that lemmy.ml has implemented in the sign-up process? You now have to answer a few questions and basically write your reason for making an account before it lets you even submit the request for review.

To use the tool you need to make your new account first manually - then you can port over your settings with the tool - so it shouldn’t be affected by this.

So no, lemmy.ml shouldn’t be blocking it, unless it’s got something enabled to disable all API logins - though I would think that would break everything (i.e. apps).
