@mastodonmigration I tried importing some lists yesterday. How long does the import normally take? It’s been about 24 hours and still shows as in progress. Refreshing the browser didn’t change it either. Clearly, a CSV file would t take 24 hours to go anywhere, so something went sideways for me

Seems like something went wrong. Did you get a new list? Is it populated?

@mastodonmigration I downloaded the lists from a post yesterday. I guess I will log out of the browser and then back in and see about trying again.

Hmmm... should work. The process is pretty thoroughly tested. Perhaps start over. Re-download a smaller pack and try again. Read the instructions carefully. You need to select 'Lists' not 'Following list' as the import type.

@mastodonmigration that’s probably the issue. I did following lists. I don’t recall seeing list but I’ll give it another shot.

@mastodonmigration Thank you. This time I choose the correct list and it worked much better. There doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of the following list versions...
