Oi #Fediverse..
Check out this 2min walkthrough of #Emissary's upcoming data migration tool. It's the last big feature I'm delivering in 2025.
It uses the "LOLA" data portability spec to transfer account data from one server (like Bandwagon.fm) to a new one (like bandwagon.your-band-here.biz)
No CSV files required. Just authenticate and approve, and everything just moves.
There's tons more to do, but I'm confident this will be live by Christmas. 馃馃徎
@ Ben Pate 馃馃徎 Is this limited to moving to Bandwagon? Or from and to Bandwagon?
Or is the plan to ultimately support moving from anywhere in the Fediverse to anywhere in the Fediverse, including e.g. from ActivityPub-based Mastodon to Nomad-based but ActivityPub-enabled (streams) that works drastically different from Mastodon?

@benpate Finally. This was my expectation for migrating fediverse servers from day 1. Thanks for your work and I hope to see this standard considered across more platforms moving forward.
@box464 Awesome. And yes, I鈥檓 kinda being the guinnea pig here. There鈥檚 a lot of smart people working on the standard right now to make sure it鈥檚 safe, reliable, and easy.
@benpate This is what the world needs. Excellent work!
@benpate 馃コ very exciting! Can鈥檛 wait to see it in the wild!
@benpate great work!!!!
