    Is there some way to just subscribe to all the communities (or see the posts as such) from another instance? I want to move my acc to Hexbear for the better emojis (and seeing things as local, tbh it’d be really nice if one could set more than one instance as viewed in locals, idk)

      Yea, I also moved to Hexbear to view everything on local, and the emojies. I don’t really use Lemmygrad anymore.

      Is there some way to just subscribe to all the communities

      There might be.

      long technical explanation

      If you export your settings, edit the file such that “followed_communities” has all communities you want to be subscribed to, then (wait so it doesn’t give you an error, then) import the edited file, it should have you subscribed to all the communities you added.

      To get all communities I’d use the api, i.e. https://hexbear.net/api/v3/community/list?type_=Local&limit=50&page=1, then copy the raw text into https://regexr.com/, make the regex "actor_id":"(.*?)" and use the List tool with "$1", (see screenshot), copy the output into a text file, open the next page on the api and go on like that until the api returns blank.
