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?

@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?

### 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
