This way the growth will be spread out 🙂 </p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a></p>
<p>The why and how of backing up your Mastodon data</p><p>Why this matters</p><p>Recently, the admin of a relatively prominent Mastodon¹ server, med-mastodon.com, decided to stop maintaining the server and shut it down without warning. This is, generally speaking, a terrible thing to do, but I will give the admin the benefit of the doubt and assume that he had some very good reason why he needed to shutdown without giving his users time to export their data or migrate their account to a new server (though as far as I’ve seen he hasn’t shared any such explanation).</p><p>Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time this has happened, and it won’t be the last. Even servers whose admins have agreed to follow the <a href="https://joinmastodon.org/covenant" rel="nofollow">Mastodon Server Covenant</a>, which among other things requires server admins to commit to giving users at least 3 months’ warning before shutting down, occasionally go belly-up without warning.</p><p>This could happen to your server at any time. Your server admins may be great people, but shit happens. Not only that, but your server’s admins or moderators could decide at any time to suspend or delete your account.</p><p>Some people protect themselves from this by <a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run-your-own/" rel="nofollow">self-hosting their own server</a>. That has advantages, but it also has disadvantages, including time and money costs, and so it’s not for everyone. If you’re not interested in self-hosting, but you also don’t want to run the risk of suddenly losing all your Mastodon data, then you should be backing up your data on a regular basis.</p><p>How to back stuff up</p><p>The most important thing to back up is the list of who you follow; fortunately that’s also the easiest. In the Mastodon web app, go to Preferences, then click “Import and Export” on the left, and click “CSV” to the right of “Follows”.</p><p>There you can also download your lists, muted and blocked people and domains, and bookmarks. All of those can be imported into a different Mastodon server using the “Import” page linked on the left.<br>Set up a reminder to back up this stuff regularly!</p><p>The next thing to back up is posts and uploads. If you consider social media transient, you may not care about this, but otherwise, you can periodically click the “Request your archive” button on the export page. You’ll receive a notification when the archive is ready to download.</p><p>Note that unlike the CSV files, your posts and media are not easy to upload into a new server. Unless you want to jump through some hoops (see below), you’re just downloading them for reference.</p><p>If you’re paying attention, you may have noticed that there’s something important missing above: what about your followers? Can those be backed up? Alas, it’s not easy.</p><p>The way it’s supposed to work is when you decide you want to migrate to a new account, you configure your old account to tell your followers automatically what your new account is, and their accounts follow your new account automatically. But obviously, that doesn’t work if your old server goes away with no notice!</p><p>I’m not aware of any web tools for backing up your followers (if you know of any, post a reply!), so if this is something you care about, you’re going to need to resort to the command line. Command-line tools that support exporting followers from your server include:</p><p><a href="https://toot.bezdomni.net" rel="nofollow">toot</a><br><a href="https://github.com/kensanata/mastodon-archive" rel="nofollow">mastodon-archive</a></p><p>If you’re so inclined, you could also write code to do the export yourself; Mastodon has a <a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/intro/" rel="nofollow">rich, well-documented API</a>.</p><p>Note that mastodon-archive also supports backing up a bunch of other stuff, so you could use it to set up periodic automated backups of all the data listed above, rather than just followers. Personally, I have mastodon-archive backing up my data automatically every night.</p><p>The toot utility mentioned above also supports downloading followed hashtags (“toot tags followed“), which you may also want to back up if following hashtags is a significant part of how you use the fediverse.</p><p>What to do with the backed-up data</p><p>You pretty much can’t import your old posts</p><p>The bad news first: there is no good way to migrate your posts from one server to another. This isn’t just true if the old server goes away; there’s also no good way to copy posts from an existing server to a new one. People have been <a href="https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12423" rel="nofollow">asking for this for many years</a> but apparently it has not been enough of a priority for the Mastodon developers to implement it.</p><p>There’s at least one <a href="https://mastodoncontentmover.github.io" rel="nofollow">early-stage effort</a> to build this functionality, and somebody has written a <a href="https://github.com/BitsNBytes25/Mastodon-Migrate" rel="nofollow">clever tool that server admins can use</a> to do it as long as the old account is still available, but neither of these is a robust general-purpose solution.</p><p>You can still browse your exported data, look at the posts in a text editor, write your own code to do stuff with the data, etc. Furthermore. There are <a href="https://purr.neocities.org/about/" rel="nofollow">a number of tools</a> for viewing and searching through your exported post archive.</p><p> How to get your followers back</p><p>If your account wasn’t migrated automatically because it disappeared out from under you, then assuming you’ve archived your followers as described above, you’re going to need to reach out to them one by one, let them know what your new account is, and ask them to follow you again.</p><p>(If you’re in online fediverse communities where people know you, you can also make a public post about your new account and ask people you know in those communities to boost it. You may need to do this several times to catch everybody, and you might still miss some people.)</p><p>If you have a lot of followers, then sending a bunch of DMs one by one to all of them will probably be a drag. You could automate it with toot, but be careful of running afoul of your server’s posting limits; you may get throttled if you post too many DMs too quickly.</p><p>Also, keep in mind that some people don’t read DMs at all, or don’t read DMs from people they don’t follow, so everyone may not see your messages asking for them to follow you again.</p><p>Restoring followed hashtags</p><p>You can use the toot utility (“toot tags follow hashtag“) to restore the followed hashtags from the list you previously exported with toot. Or if there aren’t too many you can just search for them by hand in the web app and then follow them.</p><p>Everything else, you can import</p><p>The import page in the web app’s preferences can be used to import the CSVs exported from the export page. If you used mastodon-archive or toot or whatever to export the data instead, then you can manually construct a CSV in the correct format for import.</p><p>¹This article focuses on Mastodon for clarity, but much of what is written here is applicable to any type of fediverse server.</p> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a>

<p>What I do love about <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> and the greater <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>, by the way, are the personalities. There *is* a culture here. </p><p>Other microblogging sites have a sort of algorithmic supremacy going on where you trade personality for a ticket to the internet celebrity lottery. No individualism. You pick your niche from a set deck and you play the FYP slots. </p><p>Meanwhile, everyday I run into someone who's like "hey I'm star-cake. I'm a queer carrot farmer. I collect Soviet-era camera lenses." Amazing.</p>
<p>Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo. </p><p>I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.</p><p>Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.</p><p>FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.</p><p>If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:<br><a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26</span><span class="invisible">/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/</span></a></p><p>Today is also Tuesday, a <a href="/tags/thankyoutuesday/" rel="tag">#ThankYouTuesday</a>, so I want to say thanks to:</p><p>* OpenMeteo - <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@openmeteo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>openmeteo</span></a></span> - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful</p><p>* <span class="h-card"><a href="https://comam.es/snac/grunfink" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>grunfink</span></a></span> - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM</p><p>* FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort</p><p>* FediFollows - <span class="h-card"><a href="https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>FediFollows</span></a></span> - that periodically spreads the word about cities, countries, and the enthusiasm around the project</p><p>*All of you*, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project</p><p>And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.</p><p>Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉</p><p><a href="/tags/fedimeteo/" rel="tag">#FediMeteo</a> <a href="/tags/happybirthday/" rel="tag">#HappyBirthday</a> <a href="/tags/meteo/" rel="tag">#Meteo</a> <a href="/tags/weather/" rel="tag">#Weather</a> <a href="/tags/freebsd/" rel="tag">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> <a href="/tags/snac2/" rel="tag">#snac2</a> <a href="/tags/openmeteo/" rel="tag">#OpenMeteo</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a></p>

<p>Two Fediverse clients I like are Elk and Phanpy, but both had the same issue: the inability to filter "replies" and "boosts" from the timeline. For me this is essential. I can't keep up with my timeline, and if I also see replies to posts unrelated to what I follow, it just becomes chaos. So I tried to implement these filters and opened a PR.</p><p>The Elk developers have already merged it into the main branch, so we should soon see the two hide options appear in Elk. Hopefully the same will happen in Phanpy as well, because this greatly improves the experience on two excellent Fediverse tools, which are also compatible with snac.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/pull/3482" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="github.com/elk-zone/elk/pull/3482"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/elk-zone/elk/pull/3</span><span class="invisible">482</span></a></p><p><a href="https://github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/pull/1400" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/pull/1400"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/pull</span><span class="invisible">/1400</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/snac/" rel="tag">#snac</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/elk/" rel="tag">#elk</a> <a href="/tags/phanpy/" rel="tag">#phanpy</a></p>
