We just shipped partial Account Migration support!

This means:

  • You can migrate from other servers to Pixelfed
  • Accounts that migrate between servers will be updated (even if you mute/block them)

We say partial, because we are missing one final piece to support outbound migration to Pixelfed, Mastodon or other platforms.

That final piece will be shipping later today!

@[email protected] Do you migrate with content, or without?

@[email protected] @[email protected] without for now, I'm working on migrating content but it's a bit complicated because I want to migrate likes and comments too

@[email protected] Oh. That's commendable, and we miss this pretty badly in Mastodon.

#Pixelfed would be the only #Fediverse service, which could do that right? I imagine it to be difficult on many levels. Suppose a user has 10 GB of content and plans to move to an instance with a 5 GB limit. This is just one challenge that comes into my mind.
