We just shipped partial Account Migration support!...

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!

@pixelfed Do you migrate with content, or without?

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

@dansup Oh. That's commendable, and we miss this pretty badly in Mastodon.

@dansup
#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.

@pixelfed What about Instagram import? I’ve tried one today and even though it started migrating 56 posts nothing has finished migrating.
