@rauschen@uff.rip @PixelfedGlitch@hachyderm.io I tried migrating my account from pixelfed.social to our Pixelfed Glitch instance recently and it didn’t work. My followers disappeared on the old account and were never added to my new account.
I tried migrating another account between two standard PixelFed instances previously as well and it didn’t work then either. Same thing happened.

@EighthLayer@gamerstavern.online @rauschen@uff.rip That's a subject we can look into. Unfortunately, migration can be a very heavy operation, and it seems ActivityPub does not standardize it (there's alternative implementations though). In microblogging, it does not make much sense to consider transfering so many old posts that nobody reads. Picture might be a bit different, but considering a social account as cold storage space is not recommended either.
