Account portability and the social web https://underlap.org/account-portability-in-the-social-web
I believe this is an important topic for the Fediverse. Please boost for visibility.
Thanks to @dottorblaster @jamesravey @hcj @mima @hirad @devnull for commenting on my earlier survey on this topic (https://fosstodon.org/@underlap/111617691764389915)
@underlap @dottorblaster @jamesravey @mima @hirad @devnull Great article, I know that #Firefish has the ability to import posts from @Mastodon
@hcj The Firefish docs talk about account migration but don't describe importing posts from Mastodon. Do you happen to know where this is documented, claimed, blogged about, etc?
@underlap It has multiple options on the website for imports (twitter soon?)
@hcj Nice. I tweaked the wording correspondingly.
@underlap @hcj #Sharkey, a direct fork of Misskey 13, has added imports for numerous account types. I’ve personally tried the Twitter, Mastodon, Firefish, and Instagram imports and they worked - including the attached media if available. Imported notes aren’t federated and lose replies, favorites and boost counts.
