I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.
However, the journey isn't over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.
I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic's TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!
Yes, this is a feature that was added to Lemmy recently in v0.19. Basically it allows you to export all your subscriptions, blocked communities, blocked instances, saved posts, saved comments, and account settings such as display name, bio, avatar, etc. It was added to offer support for migrating your account from one instance to another.
I just added support for this feature a couple of days ago, before that I had an option to import/export just your subscriptions, which I replaced with this.
In the next release I will add support for importing selected fields. So basically you’ll be able to export your settings from one instance, and when importing on another, you can select what you want to import, for instance if you only want to import subscriptions, and blocks, you can disable the rest of the fields.
Yeah, that’s where the idea came from was I noticed while testing that the data was merged instead of replaced. For settings such as name and bio, etc, it is replaced, but lists like subscriptions, are merged.
