@pixelfed woohoo!!! :blobAmorEsquerdaAbraco:​:blobAmorDireitaAbraco:​

let's hope this amazing feature that so many fediverse platforms have and are working to have makes its way into Mastodon sooner than later...

@cairobraga @pixelfed Account migration on Mastodon already exists, doesn't lose followers and previous posts are still available (just not migrated to the new instance).

@Varpie @pixelfed which is not the same thing as announced by Pixelfed and present as a feature on other fedi platforms as I mentioned. Mastodon is falling behind on that aspect and it makes our lives as users more complicated.

@pixelfed Now that is cool and all, but how about allowing people to register on pixelfed.social again? 😋

@pixelfed Does this transfer the reactions and comments on a post as well as the post itself? Is there a document describing this somewhere?

There’s nothing about how it’s done here

@pixelfed if you can migrate from instance to instance on pixelfed, is it possible to migrate from a pixelfed instance to a mastodon instance if both parties supported it??

Serhii Pryimachuk

@pixelfed Is there any instructions on how to do this?

Dr Pen

@pixelfed I'd like to do this, move my account from pixelfed.de to a new account on pixelfed.social. Is this now possible?

Guillaume Petit

@pixelfed any news about that ? Not sure it is available yet.

kalfa

@pixelfed news?

I'd really like to use the new feature 😬

@pixelfed Hello,

Is there a detailed tutorial ?

Because I filled "Old Account" in "Manage Aliases" as mentioned in the *Help Center* yet nothing happens. 🤔

Thanks
