I'm curious and tried to find out which fedi software lets you import/ migrate your posts from another fedi server or even from outside the fedi.
Finding this information is surprisingly hard. Or I am not clever enough. LOL Anyway, who can help me with that?
I know Sharkey can migrate posts, right? Who else?

My #Fediverse migration!
As mentioned in a previous post, I had created this account to move from my previous mastodon account. I'm done with the migration now.
Here are a couple of reasons for my migration.
1. My #mastodon instance was too restrictive with the character count (500 chars), I know that was a specific instance issue, but I wanted a place which allowed more characters, so that I could write a longish post without worrying about the char count (like this one!)
2. I found mastodon being a bit too restrictive from a feature perspective. Things like reactions, text formatting etc. are a need of the day for making your posts and reactions more meaningful.
I found #Iceshrimp supporting most these that I wanted, hence this move. However there are a couple of things that are still missing here.
1. The ability to auto-delete posts based on time.
2. The ability to follow #hashtags. I know there is an antenna feature, but haven't got to get it working properly.
As of the migration itself, it wasn't completely smooth. During my first attempt, while most of my followers got migrated I was stuck with a couple of dozen which didn't move on to the new instance. When I looked I found a few of those accounts or instances themselves didn't exist. I removed them and made another attempt to migrate, but that didn't help either. So here I'm without those missed out followers in this instance.
Other things like moving my follows, blocked and mute list etc.. was just as expected.
Anyway, hoping that another instance migration is not imminent and I'll hang around here for good amount of time.!

Yesterday: Sorry, we're giving up on the fediverse. Thoughts and prayers.
Today: I find an email asking for a $27 donation with a message that seems to fly counter to what they as an organization are actually doing.

To all my brothers and sisters from #brazil welcome to #fediverse

I'm wondering, are we actually experiencing some relevant impact of the #Twitter / #X ban in #Brazil on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse? Are people joining or has the attention/momentum shifted towards commercial offerings like #Threads (likely so) or other alternatives like #BlueSky (I don't really feel that).
I'd really love to see some stats on this topic... #FediverseMigration

@CătăWell, Lemmy is pretty much established right now and growing as well, despite being something different. Right now, this seems the biggest competitor to Mastodon in a way. But the limitation of Lemmy accounts not being able to follow other accounts (and only communities instead) makes it a bit of an outsider. Like, you can follow users from Friendica, Mastodon, even Hubzilla I think, and see their activity (comment, post), but they cannot see yours.
This also leads to the creation of a more specific culture, with people that are also unaware of other platforms and capabilities (albeit less pronounced, as the devs did a better job of keeping the whole ecosystem decentralized). For example, some users are surprised to hear that you can see their upvotes on other platforms.
The latter is mostly because the vast majority of Lemmy users didn't come from Mastodon but from Reddit. They weren't told much about the existence of a Fediverse, only that there's a thing called Lemmy which is many copies of Reddit before its enshittification, and these are connected with each other. That's all that many know. Just like many Mastodon users think the Fediverse is only Mastodon.
It doesn't help that Lemmy barely gets any interaction from other projects. Mastodon is huge, and Mastodon users should be all over Lemmy. But many Mastodon users have never heard about Lemmy. Those who have may find it too inconvenient to follow a Lemmy community because that involves using the account search and copy-pasting. Don't forget that the huge majority of Mastodon users is on phones. And those who do manage to follow Lemmy communities say that the interaction between Mastodon and Lemmy is too limiting.
For the record: I do have Lemmy followers.Kbin and Mbin could have brought a solution to this issue, as they do support following users, even those from *blogging platforms, but because the projects are younger and less stable - and more so at the time of the Reddit migration - they failed to gain the required traction (i.e. more servers, user numbers more spread out across them) until now. There is still activity on these, they are still growing (people are joining them mostly because they are dissatisfied with the political leanings of the Lemmy devs, as well as their moderation policy on .ml which is subjective to say the least), but you can clearly see a bigger culture formed around Lemmy as of now.
/kbin made bidirectional *blogging-style following possible only by bolting microblogging onto a Reddit clone. Lemmy is a more purist Reddit clone, it doesn't support domestic *blogging, so users of *blogging projects can't follow Lemmy users in the traditional sense.
As for lemmy.ml, that instance doesn't matter that much anymore. Even lemmy.world has been surpassed as the biggest instance.There seems to be something similar happening to Pixelfed, with user numbers growing month after month, and I am sure something similar will happen to Peertube when YouTube will flop badly again and PeerTube will be mature enough, or with Bookwyrm, Friendica, Hubzilla etc.
Pixelfed could become big if Instagram was enshittified so tremendously that everyone except the biggest attention whores ("But muh followers, but muh fame") will start looking for alternatives. The advantage of Pixelfed for Instagram users over Mastodon for Twitter users is that Pixelfed allows direct imports of Instagram accounts with all content.
I'm not so sure about PeerTube, not only because that'd require gigantic amounts of hard drive space, but also because many users are on YouTube for the money, and PeerTube won't pay them a penny. If they moved to PeerTube, they'd lose a source of income. Also, fewer YouTube users have ever heard of PeerTube than 𝕏 users have heard of Mastodon.
BookWyrm would be easier, but I can't see right now how Goodreads could be enshittified enough to cause a mass migration. Maybe, however, BookWyrm becomes interesting for people who don't even know Goodreads and its whole concept, and they find out about BookWyrm before they find out about Goodreads.
Friendica tried to take a chance long ago, back in the early 2010s. It even tried to facilitate the transition of whole social circles from Facebook by federating with Facebook by means of a cross-poster. It didn't work out. People didn't want to leave their "friends" behind, not to mention that the average Facebook user was even less technologically adept than the average Twitter user a good decade later. Even trying to mimic Facebook's UI didn't help.
Maybe it was for the better. Typical server hardware that Friendica ran on back in the day could barely handle over 130 accounts on one node. The notoriously power-hungry Facebook connector cut a dozen or two out of this number. Many public Friendica nodes with the Facebook connector on closed their registrations at a bit over 100 accounts. I think not even the biggest root servers would have given you a four-digit capacity.
It would simply have been impossible to accommodate a flood of Facebook refugees on Friendica. Even if Friendica users with Facebook contacts had started their own private nodes, most of them would have needed multiple nodes to even have space for a fraction of their Facebook "friends".
As for Hubzilla, it'll first need a lot of polish. And then I can't see from where people would come flooding to Hubzilla. Facebook refugees would rather pile onto Friendica, the traditional more-powerful-than-Diaspora* Facebook "clone", or maybe (streams), the Fediverse champion in permission control.
Hubzilla could be something for companies, for organisations, for political offices, for journalists, for scientists etc. I could even see modern and progressive left-wing parties use it; Pirate Parties, anyone? They wouldn't have to worry about hub capacities because they could either use specialised hubs, e.g. for journalists, or they'd run their own hubs anyway, just like they run their own Mastodon instances now. In fact, if that thicket of instances run by German public broadcasters was Hubzilla instead of Mastodon, everyone could go nomadic without having to use general-purpose hubs for their clones.
But getting them from something as dead-simple as 𝕏 to the Leatherman of Fediverse projects is difficult, to say the least. Even from Facebook.
And private persons will only really tackle Hubzilla and stick with it if they're geeks enough.

🐘 #FediverseMigration #mastodon
It's been over a year on Mastodon, and something feels different. Today, I got my hands on all my posts dating back to 2007 when I first joined the bird site. After reviewing them, there's not much substance there—mostly pictures (which I already have on my iPhone), check-ins, notifications, reactioning to others, and "liking" links.
Here on Mastodon, it's a whole different story, I've been build content and engaging with others. Thank you!

I thought I broke my Mastodon instance when upgrading, but the good ole “turn it off and back on again” saved the day! #fediverseMigration
-
@stewf I guess my take on it is that the #MastodonMigration (probably better thought of as #FediverseMigration ) is underway but is indeed happening, just more slowly than we sometimes thought. Partly due to inertia and whatever good things are happening elsewhere, partly due to our own problems (I'm relatively optimistic that we are tackling them although I suppose there are no guarantees on various fronts).

Overall stability and usability of #calckey for June hasn't been great for me. I'd say 90% of the time I was seeing the fail bird when I tried to view any timeline. No Timelines loaded. The UI was unresponsive or slower than usual when I could see posts. I deleted the cache, tried different browsers, and waited for updates.
Oddly, lists worked flawlessly throughout June, so I was able to keep up with articles and topics of interest to keep me returning for news, although I didn't have much time to post anyway.
I'd rather stay at one place and watch it grow. I value stability over fancy features, so I am still considering another #fediversemigration. I'm still seeing errors, but #calckey is loading on my phone some of the time now.
Considering the alternatives, I could have returned to #mastodon and endured the loss of so many quality of life UI features as a trade-off for greater timeline stability, or hope that #calckey stabilizes. I think calckey has the superior interface, so I'm here, for now.
If #Mastodon ever catches up on the UI to implement the timeline features #calckey introduced me to, I might switch back, but I get the feeling that's not likely.

Happy Fedi-Friday! #Fedia and #infosecpub (to maybe a lesser degree) #Kbin / #Lemmy instances are rollin'! We have two growing #cybersecurity communities there for all who are interested.
- Fedia: https://fedia.io/m/cybersecurity (324 subs)
- Infosec.pub: https://infosec.pub/c/cybersecurity (139 subs)I've been adding an interesting (at least to me) article a day to fuel things up as I can. See ya out there.

For everyone creating communities (#Lemmy instances) or "magazines" on #Kbin instances be mindful of the very real deficiencies that exist related to moderation, as @thisismissem writes about here (https://hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/110550824230711531). We're all both excited about the promise the #Fediverse brings and equally pissed at what is going on over on Reddit but there is real *danger* in growing communities using software that might not be ready for it. Read Emelia's post to gain more understanding of the potential pitfalls (and guidance around moderation). One thing I'll add is that botching this migration due to immature software could turn people off from the idea of Reddit-esque fediverse communities indefinitely.
@jerry I'm certainly no expert on community creation/management much less moderating mid-large size communities but there are certainly others within the .infosec sphere (👀 @tweedge) who could weigh in. Maybe it would be helpful to post a guide of some kind (not saying *you* need to create it but you could help market it) which fairly warns #fedia and #infosecpub channel admins that moderation tools are lackluster and to tread carefully as they scale out. Happy to volunteer my own time/perspectives on adding something to a larger wiki for your various Fediversal properties as needed!

Shortly we will be opening up all the code used in this website to a full Open Source license.
Not everything would apply, but we would hope this open source code could be used by anyone building out a similar onboarding portals for the Fedi.
For example: #Calkey, #Pixelfed, #Kbin or #Bookwyrm or
#Goldfish or other sites may find parts of the code here useful and not have to rebuild EVERYTHING from scratch. -
@infosecpub so I can find someones Lemmy handle, search them on Mastodon, find their posts, then reply to those posts IN mastodon and it will reply natively within Lemmy.
Further, I can search for a Lemmy COMMUNITY in mastodon, browse posts and replies and respond to those as well natively within Mastodon. So a full-featured Lemmy browser could (seemingly) be built inside a Mastodon client. So interesting...

I like the hashtag #fedup to describe the more recent trend of people fleeing traditional, centralized, corporate, user-hostile, money grubbing, (…I could go on) services. It works on a few levels, 1. Being fed up with those services and 2. The fediverse being on the up and up!

The ease in which I quit Twitter didn’t surprise me, but how I just up and peaced out from Reddit is wild. I never was a big Twitter user (mostly lurking/consuming) but I used Reddit All. The. Time. I think having faith in the #Fediverse after using Mastodon has helped ease the emotional transition.

It has been a hell of a whirlwind day on Twitter hasn't it. The fact remains that just like before Musk buying it (with a lot of other people's money too though) it is a private company that can do what it likes with its content and users. It is not a public square by definition and us treating these walled gardens as such was part of the problem in the first place. The fediverse isn't perfect and has intrinsic and implementation issues. It is full of flawed people doing stupid things and has its own problem with trolls et al. What it isn't however is something that can be universally at the whim of one person. Its decentralized nature is its strength even if it adds some extra friction to getting started. Let Musk turning birdsite into hellsite be the thing that finally gets us off the big tech walled garden addiction. #BigTechShouldNotExist #TwitterMigration #FediverseMigration #MastonMigration -

Lots of signs of another wave building with the dumpster fire at birdsite reaching Chernobyl levels: lots more messages by newer people that went quiet in the last week or so, several new people I follow on twitter showing up here in the last couple hours, delivery queues to some servers getting backed up a bit. I wish we had more time to finish digesting the last wave and prepare more for this one but still a beautiful thing to me. #TwitterMigration #MastodonMigration #FediverseMigration #mastodon #friendica #fediverse #MuskRuinedTwitter #Musk #MuskIsADick #BillionairesShouldNotExist
