Good client or tool for managing community subscriptions across instances?
I used to use the instances view in Liftoff for this, since that client has a really handy "View this on another instance" feature for both communities and posts, but lately that view as well as Liftoff in general has had some pretty serious stability issues for me, so here's the question:
Does anyone know of a tool or client that makes it really easy to move community subscriptions across instances? As I have several accounts across several instances, I tend to use those to organize my subscriptions by things like topic or theme, kinda like one might use multireddits on The Old Site.

I’ve used lemmy_migrate in the past and it’s good for one-way copy. I’ve also seen lasim, but I haven’t tried it. You may find other options on awesome-lemmy.
LASIM works great. Used it to migrate my main account to an alt for when my main instance inevitably goes down.
Can it be used to manually distribute community subscriptions across instances, or is it just a tool for gathering all subscriptions to a single main instance?
Downloads one instance's communities (and some other settings) to a JSON, then you can upload from that JSON to a new instance. I'm not sure there's anything that quite caters to what you're looking for yet.
Thanks for the suggestions. These tools seem to handle a somewhat different albeit quite similar use case, though, namely gathering all subscriptions across a number of instances to just a single main instance. I need more manual control, since I want to spread out my community subscriptions across a number of different instances, without any one of them necessarily being considered "main".
