We just shipped partial Account Migration support!
This means:
- You can migrate from other servers to Pixelfed
- Accounts that migrate between servers will be updated (even if you mute/block them)
We say partial, because we are missing one final piece to support outbound migration to Pixelfed, Mastodon or other platforms.
That final piece will be shipping later today!

@pixelfed@mastodon.social Do you migrate with content, or without?
@drq@mastodon.ml @pixelfed@mastodon.social without for now, I’m working on migrating content but it’s a bit complicated because I want to migrate likes and comments too
@dansup@mastodon.social Oh. That’s commendable, and we miss this pretty badly in Mastodon.

#Pixelfed would be the only #Fediverse service, which could do that right? I imagine it to be difficult on many levels. Suppose a user has 10 GB of content and plans to move to an instance with a 5 GB limit. This is just one challenge that comes into my mind.
@pixelfed@mastodon.social super cool feature add. thanks for efforts :)
@pixelfed@mastodon.social What about Instagram import? I’ve tried one today and even though it started migrating 56 posts nothing has finished migrating.
