Oh wow, the migration process is pretty seamless! Shame it didn't move follow*ing* or posts over as well, but that's okay.

@mircoxi you can move following manually by exporting it in mastodon and importing it here in Settings > Data import

@mircoxi I don’t know of any migration that also moves posts over. Those are pretty much tied to the originating instance, I believe.

@mircoxi Yeah posts can't be migrated unfortunately :[

Like Marta said though, you can export and then import some data from the settings

@SynAck @mircoxi they can be manually moved between databases, but between different software the formats are different. It's possible, but not worth it, maybe on a 1-user instance I would risk something like that, but not here.

@marta @mircoxi And this is also why some apps don’t support other fedi interfaces or even local timelines from those other instances. The base AP implementation is there, but there’s extra stuff added on top of it that have to be dealt with.

@SynAck @mircoxi no, they are three separate issues. The database format is entirely in the backend, it doesn't influence the AP implementation. Then there are additions to AP, like auth-fetch and bubble timelines that don't have to be be supported by all software. And then not supporting remote local timelines is entirely on the app makers, because the API endpoint is the same on all major platforms (the difference there is that sometimes it requires authentication, that's why NCB doesn't work (but it most cases it's configurable so it's actually *key being a mess again)).
