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.

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 @GuillaumeRossolini @thatonecalculator FWIW, I don’t see the edit reflected on the home instance, either.

@feditips @jerry @GuillaumeRossolini @thatonecalculator I see it after the posting date and before the More link, though I'm looking at it through Elk.
