#AccountMigration

Tonight I thought I would migrate my followers over from Pixelfed to my new GoToSocial account, but got an error message saying "Invalid account lookup response" on my PF account.

Before adding a bug, I looked this up on both GtS and Pixelfed Bug Reports and found this on the Pixelfed repo. Looks like it has been open over a year.

Anyone else run into this when migrating from Pixelfed to a non-Pixelfed instance?

Hi! I have a few questions about account transfers.
First of all, I see it only transfers followers.
1- What about those I'm following?
2- And what about my posts?
3- Do I need to export those separately through the Export section in the settings?
4- If so, can I import them to my new account?
This is becoming important because Pixelfed is rising in popularity and new local instances are popping up, and people will likely want to switch to them.

A quick update on this: ended up trying the account migration embedded in Pixelfed. Followed the instructions and received a positive message on the current account, stating that the request was successful. More than 12h later all my followers have disappeared from the current account, but have yet to show up on the new account 😅. One of the help pages states that it can take up to 24h, so let's wait a bit longer and see....
