Is there a good tool to transfer subscribed communities to a new account on a different instance?

Or is it faster to do it manually? I am subscribed to almost 120 different communities, so would save a few clicks not having to do it manually.

Export/Import can be found in your profile settings
- Assuming your current instance is on 19.0 or higher, which most instances are now. If your on an instance that’s still running 18, it isn’t available.
- Ah, I only checked via Voyager app since I'm mostly browsing Lemmy via mobile. But then I'll find this later tonight in browser, thanks 😊
This tool exists on github.com to do just that. Not sure if it works with ver 0.19 though, it is a few months old.

- This no longer works for me on 0.19
  
  Thanks for the update!
- Cool thanks 👌
There's an assumption in the comments that this is Lemmy-specific, so I figured I should also mention a tool I used recently when copying subscriptions from a kbin instance to an mbin instance.
I'm using this Python-based tool.

- I'll check it out and compare to the other solutions 😊
You can do this natively in your user settings but it doesn't work for me for some reason. I'm quessing it can't handle my massive block list.
- Worked for me at least, but only have a few blocked
