Import/Export settings error (lemmy.world)

Anyone else get the “please wait a few minutes before trying to import or export settings again” error?

It worked importing the same file to another account, but not this particular one. It gave me the error yesterday, so I gave up and went to sleep. Today it’s saying the same thing. I was thinking maybe the file size is too big? But it’s only 21 kb. =
If nothing else, I’ll keep trying again at a later time. It’s not urgent.

UPDATE: Solved! I guess just try until you succeed. Might take a few days

Are you trying to import to LW? Then maybe !support@lemmy.world would be better

Oh ok, maybe it’s instance specific? I was thinking technical error for Lemmy as a whole lol

Well for now I’ll just see what kind of help I can get on this post before asking the instance:)

SOLVED. I just tried again on the 3rd day and it worked. No idea what happened, but I’ll take it!
