If you're transferring your Mastodon account to another server, don't use the "Archive Request" button for transfers.

This button is not used in the transfer process, it's only there for you to download a copy of your data for personal use. The archive produced by this button cannot be uploaded to Mastodon.

There's a step-by-step guide to the full transfer process (including transferring followers, follows, mutes, blocks and bookmarks) at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server.

This button is not used in the transfer process, it's only there for you to download a copy of your data for personal use. The archive produced by this button cannot be uploaded anywhere.This is untrue. In Calckey, you can upload that archive and it'll import your old Mastodon posts.

Really? Wow... nice! 😀

Updated the original post.

@feditips thank you! It would be nice to see the Calckey import process mentioned/detailed in the article, so people know they have a choice to bring their content with them.

@thatonecalculator

How is the import process looking now?

Is it all working now?

Show threadcalc.exeJun 19, 2023
@feditips Yep, it's working completely as expected as of the release candidate version (which many instances, including the flagship ones, run). You just go into settings > import/export > posts (import) > select the mastodon archive file

@thatonecalculator @feditips Any idea when rc2 will be on docker hub?

@daniel @feditips once https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey/pulls/10282 is fixed.
[PR]: v14.0.0 Docker readiness

### What does this PR do? The PR fixes makes improvements to the Docker build for the latest v14.0.0 release candidates: - updates to Node 20 - enables precompiling of rust resources - optimizes the layer caching for faster build times since the cargo build has been added - makes migration and in turn release of v14.0.0 MUCH faster for Docker users (no compile at migration time) This PR has also been tested against v14.0.0-rc2c in our production environment and is safe to merge before 14.0.0 release. ### Contribution Guidelines - [x] I agree to follow this project's Contribution Guidelines - [x] I have made sure to test this pull request - [x] I have made sure to run `pnpm run format` before submitting this pull request

@thatonecalculator @feditips Good replies, I read the thread. Thanks mate!

@feditips @thatonecalculator all the old mentions would be broken and any message that was a reply or part of a thread would no longer be in the thread it was originally part of, so I think it would be unfair to say its as simple as just importing your old posts into a new account... correct me if I am wrong here but this is my assumption based on how threading works here
Show threadcalc.exeJun 19, 2023
@liaizon @feditips Have you actually tried it? Mentions are perfectly fine, and it just handles posts, not replies.

@thatonecalculator @feditips But by design every thread that contains posts from multiple people will not survive cause they are pointing at eachother

Fyi I'm reading from @jerry 's instance and your edit doesn't show, 1h later (almost 90 minutes from what I see)

Thanks for info.

Hmm... wonder if the federation of the edit has been delayed at some point... 🤔

@feditips
On a side note, I'm wondering whether we should be telling people they "shouldn't use this button" on the grounds that it likely won't do what they probably think it will?

Perhaps the phrasing could be along the lines of, before using that magic button, learn what it actually does?

@GuillaumeRossolini

I'm struggling to fit all that into the character limit, to be honest! I've linked to the guide which does explain what it's for at the relevant step.

Show threadGuillaume RossoliniJun 19, 2023

@feditips
Ok i think i found the solution? Just move to this instance, expanded character limit, and more? 😁

[Edit] I've been told it isn't always obvious, so: this was a joke

@thatonecalculator @feditips let's be totally clear here. Import of posts is not available in the latest stable version.
Hopefully one day soon stable will move along to something newer
