   Being able to migrate your :pixelfed: posts along with followers to other Pixelfed servers is something we need to do, and will be a priority after I ship the new release, and mobile app later this month.

   I say to other Pixelfed servers, because I'm not aware of any other software that would support this, but I do plan to write a FEP so we can support full account migration between software!

     @renchap Yeah, I am going to implement LOLA, that would make a lot more sense.

     Is Mastodon looking to implement it too?

     @dansup Have you looked at https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/lola ?
     Also I guess you are talking about copying the posts, not migrating them (which will preserve their interactions)?

     @renchap Understandable, look forward to that possibility, and for improved account migration!

     @dansup I can not say, as we havent studied the specification in detail. Once we start working on improving account migration, we will do our best to re-use existing specifications, but I can not commit to anything before we do our homework.
