Moving to a new server

@Patricia Part 2, Point 7, I requested my archive, it says "compiling your archive" for 7 minutes now. Should I wait and for how long? Thanks.

@leoljubicic66 I don’t know, and it doesn’t matter for the rest*, you can’t import it anywhere. At least not now. But if you want to delete your account this is the only way to get an archive of your posts.

* you will lose access to this account for 30 days so you might want to wait

@Patricia Thank you Patricia, I figured that out myself somehow. Anyway, archive archived, migration done! Thanks for the instructions.
@leoljubicic66 I’m glad it worked 😃
