Description
Trying to import block settings from my current Reddit Enhancement Suite setup. I have a large number (over 10,000 from nearly a decade of using the extension) of subreddits filtered out of /r/all. I want to replicate that in RedReader instead of manually re-blocking everything.
I can successfully pull my FilteReddit block list and format it to the syntax that the RedReader backup preferences file uses, but the data fails to fully backup when I restore preferences.
To clarify, everything is fully restored except most the blocked subreddits. Every time I attempt to do so, even arbitrarily removing portions of my block list, the preferences only restore exactly the first 700 in my blocked subreddits list.
