GoToSocial Migration Plan

#GoToSocial hasn’t hit beta yet, but it has implemented support for migrating followers to new accounts. So I think I’m ready to set up my new Fediverse main on something like notes.kvibber.com. Weekend plans!

I’m not going to delete my Wandering.shop account, but I’ll probably mark it as moved. And I think I’ll keep this Snac2 server for now, for techie spitballing like this post.

As for my current GTS test server, I’ll keep running it for a while in parallel. But eventually I’ll be turning it off.

Maybe I’ll re-boost and re-post some things before I publicize the new account so it’s sorta backfilled without spamming anyone’s feeds. Though anything of mine that I actually want to re-post is probably better moved to my website.

Oh right, need to revisit compatibility.

It looks like I should be able to follow a #Lemmy user or community from #GoToSocial now that authorized fetch is implemented, but it doesn’t seem to be working, at least not from my server.

And it still can’t follow my #Postmarks server, but that’s almost certainly in part due to the Mastodon-specific hardcoded assumptions: https://github.com/ckolderup/postmarks/issues/77

I’ll have to gather some debug logs in GTS and Postmarks, see if I need to fix my config to talk to Lemmy, and then figure out which projects I need to post the debug log to.

And try out some possible code fixes on my own server to see if they work. Or at least get a new error.

Otherwise it seems to federate just fine with most of the other server types I use and/or have tried to follow.

Realized that my tinkering with #GoToSocial, #Takahe, #CalcKey and #Snac2, continuing to use #Pixelfed, #Lemmy and #Bookwyrm, and looking for compatibility problems are part of the same impulse that had me trying out every web browser I could find in the early 2000s and deliberately using Firefox and Opera on Linux as my daily drivers instead of IE on Windows.

It's a drop in the ocean, but it's my push for interoperability over #monoculture.
