How do I apply an #ActivityPub archive of my posts from one account, and import them as posts on a different account?
The #Mastodon "export" feature (one of the account Preferences) says:
> You can request an archive of your posts and uploaded media. The exported data will be in the ActivityPub format, readable by any compliant software.
Okay, once we have this archive ("in ActivityPub format"), what is the "compliant software" to read it in as posts on my Mastodon account?
@earth_walker@mindly.social@bignose you can't move your posts from one masto account to another, if that's what you're asking
The idea is to publicly preserve posts made on an account, now that the account is going away (the server is closing down). So, yes I want to re-post the contents of the archive, to another account under my control.
Isn't the purpose of getting an archive ("in the ActivityPub format" apparently) to restore it "by compliant software", as Mastodon says?
@bignose I think misskey has this feature, try it with Sharkey or Catodon. Lmk if you learn anything, I'm curious
