omg this last #Mastodon / #GlitchSoc update was a DOOZY

but I was able to get thru it succesfully #SelfHosting #SelfHostAdventures

in any case: the part of the #Mastodon docs that talks about DB Encryption is just bad and that's why it took me more than an hour to solve the new dependencies and inconsistencies on my server.

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.
