One thing that always frustrated me about YouTube is that if you ever make a new account, there’s no real way to transfer your subscriptions, playlists, liked videos, etc. — you’re basically stuck manually resubscribing to every channel one by one.

Does PeerTube have any kind of functionality for this?

Like, if a user decides to switch instances, is there a way to migrate things like subscriptions, playlists, follows, etc., to the new account?

And if not, has anyone ever proposed or built something like this?

Maybe a bot that scrapes your current account’s follows and playlists and recreates them on your new one?

Would love to hear thoughts or if anyone’s already working on a solution like this.

    Yes and you can even export all your videos and import that as well.
