#GoToSocial and #littleFedi keep introducing thoughtful functionality focused on user choice and user empowerment and I'm here for it!

GoToSocial supports importing from previous instance even provides an API for importing non ActivityPub history but both require external tools. littleFedi has built-in backup and full instance restore that seems to be aiming for lower tech know-how. #OwnYourData indeed, hear hear 🍻

@shom @fasnix @madamada Built-in backups of the database, the configuration and, optionally, local owned media, with a manifest and a restore command.

You can fully export all your contents (including posts) and re-import them into another littleFedi instance. It'll be another account with another handle, but you won't lose any of your contents. Your data stays yours.
