Imagine having control of https://Pixelfed.social https://Loops.video https://FediDB.com and https://Fediverse.info You could build ethical discovery and personalization, make it effortless for people to join and engage, and offer them a better server to migrate to whenever they're ready. Loops is building LOLA full account migration right now. Pixelfed is next. #pixelfed #loops #lola #accountMigration

LOLA is a proposal for live online account portability between two ActivityPub servers at the request of a user. The goal is to allow the user to pursue the following workflow:

• Request a destination server to copy an ActivityPub account from a source server
• Authorize the destination server to the source server
• See the content in its new location after the destination server completes copying it over
• Optionally, at a later time, ask the source server to send notifications to followers that the account is moving
• Optionally, at a later time, redirect the content at the source server to the destination server

Flagship fediverse servers are fundamental to the growth of our network. They don't shutdown without notice, and generally are more trusted and actively moderated and updated. That being said, as a dev/admin of two flagship servers, it's our responsibility to build and support FULL account migration to other servers, and with LOLA, I'm confident we can do this right. https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/lola #Flagship #Loops #Pixelfed #Onboarding #LOLA
