Working on a new Pixelfed release with several bug fixes!

TechCrunch: Bounce introduces a tool to move your Mastodon account to Bluesky. “On Tuesday, the makers of Bounce introduced its latest beta version, Bounce 2, which lets you take your Mastodon social graph and migrate it or merge it into a profile for your Bluesky account.”

Here's a draft FEP to do full account migration with posts and whatever other kinda objects you want to bring with you. It's a trivial expansion of existing ActivityPub/streams systems and supports gradual migration as it's implemented and after an account migration. It should be possible to migrate pretty much everything this way, both private and public objects.

criticism, feedback, revisions, etc. welcome - i don't think this is a "final version" and there are certainly things i overlooked.

Anyone got a nifty tool to #repost #toots backed up from an #account #archive?

• Cuz a friend of line asked for help with that…

Sadly #Mastodon doesn't have that option.

• Doesn't need to be fancy. Just something that extracts post contents into a folder and enables one to - if necessarily manually - repost…

Okay update on this:

After the 30 days of waiting until I can do the account migration again, I tried migrating my account again to see if there was just a glitch or something the last time I did it.

Seems there was, all my followers from my previous acct (@beardedtechguy) finally moved over!

Welcome back everyone!

This whole account migration issue is starting to irritate me.

Tonight I thought I would migrate my followers over from Pixelfed to my new GoToSocial account, but got an error message saying "Invalid account lookup response" on my PF account.

Before adding a bug, I looked this up on both GtS and Pixelfed Bug Reports and found this on the Pixelfed repo. Looks like it has been open over a year.

Anyone else run into this when migrating from Pixelfed to a non-Pixelfed instance?
