I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly: If you switch Mastodon instances, it's easy to transfer your network/follows over (I did this), but NOT your content. Is this right? If you change instances you can't move your toots to the new one?
This makes the "don't be held hostage by a platform!" benefit less compelling doesn't it? Like what if someone just doesn't pay the bill for your instance? All your content's gone?
Am I missing something?
@cfiesler That's correct.
You can export your content though at https://hci.social/settings/export but I don't see a way to import them...
This Mastodon instance is for the community of human-computer interaction researchers and practitioners. Mastodon is like Twitter but better because it’s open-source, decentralized, and federated. This instance is hosted on Google Cloud Platform servers, paid for by @Princeton HCI, and administered by @YuhanLiu, @nigini, @axz, @andresmh.
