@underlap @dottorblaster @jamesravey @mima @hirad @devnull Great article, I know that #Firefish has the ability to import posts from @Mastodon

@underlap content migration has historically been a difficult problem to solve simply because all these companies and softwares operate in pseudo-competition with one another.

For example #nodebb can migrate posts from #phpBB #vBulletin etc., but it's all custom migrators.

Something as simple as a common format for data portability would go a long way towards ease of content migration.

I am not certain many users elect to use or not use platforms based on portability though.

@underlap great post! I also reblogged it and added a couple of thoughts :) https://fosstodon.org/@jamesravey@brainsteam.co.uk/111654492540367765
