#accountmigration — Public Fediverse posts

Heya, fediverse... Looks like the account migration was successful and I'm good to go when it comes to posting from this account. So happy I now have full control of my data, although I've never had a problem with the team over at The Dragon's Cave and the way they handled the data of those with accounts on their instance. #Success #Mastodon #GoToSocial #AccountMigration #DataSovereignty

最近在研究 Misskey 的「帳戶遷移」功能，想更清楚了解它實際會遷移哪些資料。

目前看起來它會轉移「追隨與被追隨」的關係，但我不確定是否也包含：
• 使用者頭像、橫幅與簡介
• 貼文、圖片與附件
• 使用者設定與偏好

另外，如果兩台伺服器之間的聯邦協議（ActivityPub）通訊正常，是否代表遷移時能自動同步所有可用資料？

我想確認 Misskey 的帳戶遷移到底是偏向「社交關係導向」（像 ActivityPub 的 Move 活動），還是能完整搬移內容與媒體的「資料轉移」。
如果有開發者或懂協議的朋友能說明一下，會很感謝 🙏

I’m trying to understand how Misskey account migration actually works.

From what I’ve seen, it seems to transfer followers and following, but I’m not sure if it also includes:
• Profile info (avatar, header, bio)
• Posts, images, attachments
• User settings or preferences

If both instances communicate properly over ActivityPub, does migration automatically sync all available data?

I’d like to know if Misskey’s migration is more like a “social relationship redirection” (similar to ActivityPub’s Move), or a full “data transfer” including posts and media.
Any insights from developers or experienced admins would be appreciated 🙌

現時点では、フォロー／フォロワー関係は引き継がれるようですが、
次の項目も含まれるのでしょうか？

また、サーバー間の ActivityPub 通信が正常な場合、自動でデータ同期が行われるのでしょうか？

Misskey のアカウント移行は ActivityPub の Move のような「ソーシャル関係の移動」なのか、
それともユーザーコンテンツを含む「完全なデータ転送」に近いのか、

Working on a new Pixelfed release with several bug fixes!

Here's a draft FEP to do full account migration with posts and whatever other kinda objects you want to bring with you. It's a trivial expansion of existing ActivityPub/streams systems and supports gradual migration as it's implemented and after an account migration. It should be possible to migrate pretty much everything this way, both private and public objects.

criticism, feedback, revisions, etc. welcome - i don't think this is a "final version" and there are certainly things i overlooked.

Okay update on this:

https://infosec.exchange/@beardedtechguy/115180879315555837

After the 30 days of waiting until I can do the account migration again, I tried migrating my account again to see if there was just a glitch or something the last time I did it.

Seems there was, all my followers from my previous acct (@beardedtechguy) finally moved over!

Welcome back everyone!

#Mastodon #AccountMigration #Fediverse

This whole account migration issue is starting to irritate me.

#Mastodon #AccountMigration #Fediverse

stupid question but i don't see it in the docs -- where how do you get goat to send an email for the 'plc-token'? for migrating accs #atproto #goat #accountmigration #atprotocol

Tonight I thought I would migrate my followers over from Pixelfed to my new GoToSocial account, but got an error message saying "Invalid account lookup response" on my PF account.

Before adding a bug, I looked this up on both GtS and Pixelfed Bug Reports and found this on the Pixelfed repo. Looks like it has been open over a year.

Anyone else run into this when migrating from Pixelfed to a non-Pixelfed instance?

A quick update on this: ended up trying the account migration embedded in Pixelfed. Followed the instructions and received a positive message on the current account, stating that the request was successful. More than 12h later all my followers have disappeared from the current account, but have yet to show up on the new account 😅. One of the help pages states that it can take up to 24h, so let's wait a bit longer and see....
#Pixelfed #accountmigration

@pixelfed trying to migrate my pixelfed account to another instance. The migration screen says Only followers will be transferred. Is there a way to transfer my following list? I can see an export option for the following list. But how do I import that in to the new instance? The Import section doesn't show any option (at least in the pixelfed.social instance).
#pixelfed #AccountMigration #fediquestions

Felicemente, le servitor ancian ha revenite in linea durante tempore sufficiente pro permitter me de terminar le migration.

In ultra, io ha notate que es ben possibile migrar verso un conto ja establite; le sequites/sequitores del conto ancian simplemente se fusiona in le nove conto.

Iste guida me ha adjutate multo al migration: https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

Io volerea regratiar adb a cybre.town pro esser mi hospite Mastodon durante duo annos e io le desira bon fortuna.

#Mastodon #AccountMigration

Thankfully, the old server has now come back online long enough for me to complete the migration.

As it turns out, you can migrate to an existing account that already has some follows/followers -- it will just add the ones from the old account.

For anyone else looking to migrate, I found this guide very useful: https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

I would like to thank adb at cybre.town for being my Mastodon host for two years and wish him all the best.

#Mastodon #AccountMigration

Currently no easy way for Bluesky users to do account migration in browser/app but you can read about migration process involving auth token, pds, atproto signing key etc Notes from @bnewbold.net -> github.com/bluesky-soci... #bluesky #atproto #bsky #atprotodev #migration #pds #accountmigration

The Fediverse is older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one backup account migration to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version.

#Fediverse #TheMatrix #AccountMigration

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 #fediverse #activityPub #accountMigration

I'm mostly at my standalone GoToSocial server these days. I tried migrating this account again, and *this* time I figured out the problem: I'd misconfigured my server's proxy settings and *everything* was getting rate limited.

So next time it should finish - but I have to wait another 29 days for the cooldown. Meanwhile, if you'd like to see what I'm up to lately, feel free to follow me at @kelson

#AccountMigration #GoToSocial #Mastodon

We're aware of some issues in our Account Migration feature that prevents a proper migration.

We're working on a fix, and will update you when we ship the fix!

#pixelfed #accountMigration

Hey #Fediverse!

Here's a personal announcement:
I plan to shut down my instance this summer.
I'm trying to shrink the number of different services I am using, to reduce VM and storage costs (reducing costs even more would imply downsizing my servers, which would degrade even more performance of my services).

And I figured that I didn't have very interesting stuff to share lately, everyone on here is already doing a great job in providing the Fediverse with awesome content ^_^.

So I think that, for now, I'm going to "archive" this account and use @clemv (a third-party-hosted Mitra instance) as my main account from now on.

And ultimately the instance will be taken down during the summer.

I may take some time to redirect every link/profile and resub everything there, so don't worry if I'm not following you from the "new" account yet, I'll do so before I take down my instance :)

See you!

hey anyone following my account here! I'm sure I am wayy down in people's feeds bc who even am I, but I will need to move my acct soon as my server is shutting down. Looking for new server suggestions -
I am based in eastern Massachusetts and looking for transit/ environmental/ neighborhood news if possible. The current server is based in Europe and it was a great jam while it lasted.
So far - as other m'don newbs have complained - the servers are overly specific to *one topic* and it's been tough to connect to a bunch of topics - EVEN WITH HASHTAGS, because the hashtags dont always show up.
Dont gimme the How To links either, I already have those - #accountmigration #feditips #massachusetts

Trying to migrate over followers from @[email protected] to @[email protected], since #ActivityPub didn’t have account migration related features, I had to setup all the properties needed for the migration check.

Through trial and error, my move activity was finally sent to all the server inboxes, the previous followers have all unfollowed from the old account, ...


But somehow they never followed my new account described in the action. sad. I lost the 8 followers followed my site & blog.
Given these accounts are all on #Mastodon servers, there must have been some inconsistencies between my payloads and Mastodon’s implementation.

Since these followers are no longer following either the old account nor the new one, there’s no point troubleshooting anymore since they won’t automatically follow back again.

If you’re interested in what was going on there, check out them below ↓

Have I followed all of you back?

@admin For anyone reading who needs a new instance https://connectop.us has room for more. We are a tiny instance spun up when mastodon.lol shutdown. We also made a step-by-step guide to move. The screenshots are from .lol and our server, but work for any Mastodon instance. Another place to look for an instance is https://instances.social/ . Mentions only (DM) me if you'd like help moving regardless where you decide to go, I am happy to help as I can. #NewInstance #FindNewInstance #ServerChange #ChageServer #NewServer #FindNewServer #MoveAccount #AccountMigration

That universal protocol I was talking about seems to be mostly #AMQP.

However, it doesn't seem to have its own way to start new direct TCP connections to new servers/instances.

So perhaps I could build something like a lightweight #ActivityPub successor on top of #AMQP.

The main features I wish to see would be:
- #AccountMigration and #AccountRenaming
- #SubAccounts (kinda like #GooglePlus's circles)
- #Multilingual messages and hashtags
- #DigitalSignatures

Because the first thing I do is post giant media files here have a giant media file. #mastoart #accountmigration #pixelart (Clip Studio Paint.)

Ich habe jetzt endlich auf meiner Home Page einen Leitfaden zum Umzug zwischen zwei Mastodon-Instanzen geschrieben:

#Mastodon #AccountMigration #AccountMigrations #UmzugMastodon

Falls Euch Fehler auffallen oder etwas fehlt, lasst es mich bitte wissen.

3) Everyone to whom you gave permission to access your contact info (phone number, email address, etc) are notified. Their host automatically fetch the new data so your friends have nothing to do. It all works like magic!

4) Your old account is automatically setup as a backup of your new account and will now automatically mirror all changes on your new account. Unless you don't want that, in which case you can delete that old account.

#AccountMigration #decentralizedContacts #federatedProfile

For the federated contact book app that I'm proposing, it really should be better! When migrating to a different account, you would simply need to
1) In the old account, provide the link to the new one
2) In the new account, provide the link to the old one (for confirmation)

#AccountMigration #DecentralizedIdentity #decentralizedContacts

Another difficulty that come with decentralization: What if you want to migrate your profile, including all your address book, to a new host because your current host is problematic? It should be easy to migrate, without losing any of your friends or their data.

We can look at existing decentralized system and how they attempt to solve migration:

#decentralizedContacts #accountMigration #decentralizedIdentity

1️⃣ Most email provider have a tool to migrate all your emails and contacts from your old provider. But it doesn't let your friends know that you have migrated and that they need to use your new address. You have to tell all your friends to use your new address, meaning they have to manually update their contact book. And you need to either setup an automated email forwarding or remember to check your old account from time to time..
