I've used this tool to migrate subscriptions.
First, edit the .ini file with your lemmy servers, usernames and passwords.
Then make sure you have python interpreter with requests installed. You can check this with
python3 -m pip show requests. if it says something like package not found, you should look into how to install python requests on your operatation system. If you downloaded it from python.org,python3 -m pip install --user requestsshould work.Then you can do
python3 lemmy-migrate.py -c config.ini. Let me know if you run into any problems!I bet replacing python3 with py will work:
Did you try my suggestion in this comment?

I think your problem is that you aren't pointing PowerShell at the right folder. You can use the
cdcommand to get to the right folder containing the python script and config file.I abandoned lemmy.world for lemm.ee and I gotta say it is way better. No idea how to migrate though.
