Importing Lemmy settings seems to do nothing (piefed.ca)

I exported my settings from a Lemmy instance running v 0.19.11, and it seems that the import doesn't bring in anything (subscriptions, blocks, etc.). Does Piefed use a different JSON schema or is it just not possible to import from Lemmy into Piefed? I have tried importing multiple times, waited a few days, and still nothing.

This used to work and I exported from PieFed and imported into another PieFed instance just yesterday. Maybe Lemmy changed the JSON structure.

We'll look into it.

Do you want me to send you the JSON I'm working with? If so what would be the best way to get it to you.

I think I know the problem - I fixed an issue with the settings import a week ago but piefed.ca hasn't updated to the latest version yet.

If you're not committed to piefed.ca then check the footer of any other instance. You want it to say PieFed v1.1.0 instead of PieFed v1.0.x. piefed.zip, feddit.online, quokk.au and piefed.social are all on 1.1.

Yes please, send it to contact @ piefed.social

Hey! I had this same issue on Piefed.ca about a month ago. Tried several times at different times of day. I waited a few more days, then randomly tried again to check and it worked. Not sure what happened. Meanwhile importing settings on Piefed.social worked fine. But I really wanted a Piefed.ca account lol
