New Android phone only main account transfered..help!

Hi everyone, l am an older person who is not a techie at all so please be kind..:)

I was using a Samsung Galaxy S20 ultra 5g phone and purchased a used Samsung Galaxy S21 ultra 5g on eBay.

I "tried" and continue trying to transfer everything to the new phone. I transfered the SIM card and used an app called Smart Switch to transfer what l thought was everything from old to new....(Yes insert laughter) ..sigh..it's a bit of a mess. Anyway, when l opened Reddit only the original account l used to set it up in the beginning transfered over. But l have two other "Reddit aliases (?)" that l also use which didn't transfer...nor any of their history..😭

How do l get those accounts into my new phone please?

Can you please explain like your talking to an older person (since 5 year olds know more than l do about tech it seems! Lol)..

Thank you!!

I bought a new S20 in 2020 and have used it every day since. Great physical condition and the phone runs well overall too.

The only problem is that the battery has degraded to 68% of its original capacity after almost 6 years of nightly slow charging.

I was thinking of just getting the battery replaced at a local shop, but it almost seems silly to do for a six year old phone. Like, I'm going to keep it for a few more years to use it for 9 years total? Seems almost unthinkable.

The phone runs fine and I don't game on it or do anything that would really benefit from a faster chip, I don't think. I just use it for social media, web browsing, video streaming, texting, etc.

Higher resolution camera is not a big draw to me, I'm satisfied with the S20's camera.

This phone already has an under screen fingerprint sensor, great display, front camera cut cut out instead of the notch.

Is it dumb to replace the battery and try to use it for a few more years? Will certain apps stop working?

Looking at the S26, there is just pretty much nothing to get me excited about upgrading. The new phones lose the SD card slot as well.

Thoughts??
