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.

@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
