But none of your content goes with, and that's really terrible because it gives a lot of power to petty-kingdom jackass admins.
AT Protocol is heartening because maybe they've got a good solution to that.
- alphager 3y agoYou can export your content on the old insurance and import on the new instance
- eropple 3y agoThat doesn't actually work, though. Old links don't update or forward to matching instances of your toots on Mastodon. They're isolated. It's a bad experience.
- gcr 3y agoThat's a good point. It would be nice to have a streamlined export flow that rewrites your links for you. (It's technically possible to edit the links in the posts you exported yourself before importing, but technically correct isn't the best kind of "correct")
