I did try to search for the answer before posting, but I’m not the best at that stuff. Sorry if there’s already an answer for this somewhere.

I like to have separate accounts for stuff. I like to have one where I can discuss movies, and then another one where I can talk about video games, music, and basically all my other interests. It feels better to compartmentalize them this way. I didn’t want to go ahead with the idea without checking first.

    Under the settings menu you can export your settings as a JSON file.

    # Using python, read in a JSON file.  Immediately write it
# back out as a new file using indent=2 to "pretty print"
# the output so it's human and computer readable.
# With care this can be edited to add/remove blocks
# and reimported back into lemmy.  I've never used
# the import process, so use with care.
import json
infile = <your filename here>
outfile = <where you want it here>
with open(infile, "r") as i:
    data = json.load(i)
with open(outfile, "w") as o:
    json.dump(data, o, indent=2)

        you have to blocks a ton of accounts

        Sorry. In my head I had posted a complete thought, but in reality I left out the context. If you’ve grabbed all of cm0002’s accounts on one account, then you can export those account settings, export the settings for the other accounts, and make the blocklists the same for all the accounts, then reimport them. That might not be simpler than just blocking them whenever you see them, but it’s workable. You could also manually add to the blocklist if you knew all his accounts/instances.

        I wouldn’t be shocked if one day there wasn’t some third party tool for managing/sharing blocklists.
