Hi @grunfink !
A friend of mine set up a snac instance recently, and I think the project is pretty cool in its current state.
I'm having some minor problems with my Pleroma instance, and I was wondering if it would be possible to migrate from Pleroma to snac while keeping accounts, toots and following/followers.
I guess it's conceptually possible to convert all from the Pleroma database, but there's no script to do this automatically yet?

@grunfink Second question: I'm currently using Pleroma on the same subdomain as other services, and I think that's where some of my problems are coming from.
Is this something that's likely to be problematic with snac, or is it just a matter of dedicating the right paths in the nginx conf and everything should be fine?
(None of the other services use ActivityPub)

Hi. I'm afraid there is no tool to migrate from a Pleroma account right now.
Yes, writing a script to port your posts could be possible in theory, but each post has an
You cannot transfer the people that follows you; I'm told that Mastodon does this (somewhat) by redirecting from the old account to the new one, but as far as I know you must keep the old account alive. People complain all the time about the reliability of this. I sincerely think that the best way to move your followers is writing a post saying "this is my new account from now on; please follow me".
The only thing you can reliably transfer is the people you follow;
I apologize if the lack of viable options is disappointing to you.

id that is an URL and as far as I know Pleroma and snac URLs are very different, so it may not be worth the effort.You cannot transfer the people that follows you; I'm told that Mastodon does this (somewhat) by redirecting from the old account to the new one, but as far as I know you must keep the old account alive.

The only thing you can reliably transfer is the people you follow;
snac includes a command-line option to follow an actor, so you just need to feed it a list of actor's ids and that's it. Mastodon includes a way of exporting the followers as a comma-separated values file, I don't know if Pleroma has a similar option.I apologize if the lack of viable options is disappointing to you.
@grunfink You don't have to apoligize, I know stuff like this aren't easy. But I guess, reading your answer about transfering follower, that I did not explain myself clearly. Sorry, I should have been more precise.
I wasn't talking about migrating a Pleroma account to another account on a previously existing snac instance, but to replace Pleroma by snac on my own server while keeping the same domain/account/etc. Thus, there should be no need to ask people to follow me elsewhere, as, seen from the rest of the Fediverse, I'd stay at the same place.
I guess the difference between identifiers could indeed be a problem, but it may be possible to add a redirection from the old /notice/ to the new format, to at least keep the links working (won't be way more problematic than my current situation, I guess).
I hope it's a bit more understandable now, and once again, no need for apologies, answers would never disappointing me, especially since I know I'm asking for something really uncommon.

I'm afraid what I said applies the same even if both services share the same host and domain.
