I've made the migration of @maou to my #gts instance and used #slurp (a tool from @vyr - https://github.com/VyrCossont/slurp) to try to not loose all the nice toots that have been posted in past years.

522 of 2908 toots have been migrated 
For what I understood, only a subset of posts can be migrated: top-level public posts that doesn't include other accounts.
It makes sense, but I have the feeling to loose a part of @maou's history 

Also, it seems 906 of 1180 followers have been informed of the move; I'm not sure how the moving information works but I've the feeling there's always some followers lost in this kind of operation. Or may be, it just takes a long time to contact all servers and I have to wait few days...?

One caveat for my imported pixelfed/instagram posts: most alt-descriptions are missing. The most recent ones will have a description (I am training myself not to miss any!), and I might go down the rabit hole to add more in olders posts.
When I go back to the older ones, I'll also add CW's where food is involved.

For now?
Just hang out with your best bud.

#SelfHosted #GoToSocialMigration 🖖

... I guess I'm importing my pixelfed posts? This will take some time, because I spent most of January importing my Instagram archive 

#SelfHosted #Pixelfed #GoToSocialMigration

Not all posts were imported, and any replies to other posts will be lost, but it seems the migration from mastodon to gotosocial seems to be fairly complete.

To do:

• [ ] copy over filters (import failed)
• [ ] check all bookmarks (not all imported)
• [ ] read up on importing pixelfed (https://github.com/VyrCossont/slurp?tab=readme-ov-file#importing-a-pixelfed-archive)

I have much to do, but ... my new account & instance are live!

Hi!

#SelfHosted #GoToSocialMigration #FederateMe

@gotosocial Seeing the lines with mastodon imports ... quite exciting!

#SelfHosted #GoToSocialMigration

First posts are migrating; I'll need to check the logs to see which ones I'm missing and I'll need to check my custom emoji again. Somehow the emoji-import did not work, but that shouldn't be a problem.

My mastodon archive is also a bit older, but I cannot create one for a few more days.

So far so good, but still a work in progress!

And Slurp is the best tool!
