#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 🍻
@stefano
@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.
@stefano a couple of feature requests:
- The ability to add followed users to lists from the users' profile.
- A "Copy link to post" option for posts in my feed that I want to share outside of the Fedi.
Both functions are things I use often, so I'm hoping it won't be too much of a hassle to add them into littleFedi 🙏
Oh, just found the GNOME appearance setting, quite nice.
The last posts are copies from my federation.network account that I posted some months ago, as I plan to delete that account in the forseeable future.
More of those posts to come to this acccount, as I plan to stay here 😄
@mboelen that's the point. I've always used the "delete posts after x days" in Mastodon and snac, but sometimes you want to remove a post earlier/after a specific event. So that's why we introduced it.

@liaizon@wake.st thank you for the head up! I'll check. Restarting the server solved it, but I think it was a stuck worker or something like that. I'll put a monitoring, meanwhile.
@sturai it seems you're clearly missing the entire right bar. this is strange. I'll perform some tests. thanks!
@stefano I am now using littleFedi on Safari with the Zephyr theme and it continues without appearance.
loving this "console" theme 🌈 🖥
"Leaving Google has actively improved my life
In May of 2023, Google introduced “AI overviews” into their search engine.1 This followed years of decisions leading to worse search quality and the consummation of their mission to answer every query on Google instead of sending you to outside sites. This was upsetting but something I groaned about and then moved on.
Then, in January of 2026, Google introduced generative AI into their Gmail inboxes. For me, this was the last straw. I decided it was time to leave Google.

@stefano The original theme that I just tried brings it back but on the Cupertino or Zephyr one it is not avaible for me. I'll just use the original one to find people. Thanks.
Hi @stefano I have a little problem, since I have changed my littleFedi Theme now I can not find to search por people to follow. Could you be so kind to facilitate me where to find the section?
