hey fedizens, how are you doing today? happy holidaze!

can y'all help me with a little bit of testing/debugging, please? you just need to interact (reply/favourite/follow) with this post/account using your fedi accounts: https://podcasts.cairobraga.com/@ElephantRadio/posts/cc84e9fc-90b8-43fc-a02e-5ee162ef3ae5

this is related to these issues:

thanks in advance! #debugging #testing #fediverse #podcasting

does anyone know if #Bluesky is gonna make their AT Protocol interoperable with #ActivityPub and the rest of the #Fediverse? and if so, what do the fedizens think about it? is it just as bad as #Threads joining the Fediverse?

I'm not sorry, but if you're a visual artist on the Fediverse and DOESN'T PUT ALT TEXT ON YOUR POSTS WITH IMAGES OF YOUR OWN ARTWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will go one step further and block you. because being a visual artist and not describing your own artwork is not just careless, it's wilfully ableist.

the one thing I hate the most about most Fediverse platforms is how it's all "you can migrate your account, you're free, yay" but the ONE thing you can't migrate it's your posts, which is the MAIN thing!!! it amazes me how after all this time Mastodon and the like didn't solve this problem (and it seems like it's not even a priority, at least in the Mastodon camp).

it's not like it's impossible, tho, since Hubzilla it's fully capable of it, for example.

ugh, it's just so frustrating.

so, fedizens, I need your ideas: I want to migrate permanently from this Mastodon account to my new @gotosocial account at @cairobraga@gts.cairobraga.com, but I would like to at least try to migrate my posts in some way or form.

I can think of boosting posts from this account in the new one, but would those boosts survive if I ever take this instance offline for good?

I can also think of manually and contextually re-posting toots from this account in the new one, but that sounds extremely laborious and might be confusing to my followers.

is there any other way I could go about this that doesn't involve waiting patiently for the day when fediverse platform devs will finally implement an organic and native way of migrating whole accounts, including posts? any suggestions?

I thank you in advance!

in this very moment I'm importing my posts from @cairobraga@queer.party to @cairobraga@gts.cairobraga.com using #slurp by @vyr as a kinda test. yesterday I imported the emojos, which went almost smoothly, despite a few hiccups and some manual solutions I had to make for them to be surpassed.

this post backdating feature inaugurated in the latest @gotosocial release is a big game-change-starter for ActivityPub and Fediverse platforms in general. one can only hope that @Gargron and the #Mastodon dev team finally solve this huge missed feature in their software.

a big thank you to the whole #GoToSocial team, to Vyr specially for being so attentive and lovely in her replies to me.

this is a post for people seeing me from #Bluesky: I'm not here, I'm using a bridge between the #Fediverse and Bsky. so unless you use the bridge as well, I can't see or interact with your posts and replies. you can get more info at @bsky.brid.gy or https://fed.brid.gy/docs on how to use the bridge, and I encourage you to do it!
