anyone out there know if it is possible to change the server software and keep the account of a instance? I'm on Calckey, but thinking of changing to something else.

not sure if i can swap things, or if I have to start over.

@jake depends to which software you want to move, from calckey you could migrate to almost any Misskey fork or Misskey it self

@tournesol i'm not sure yet what i'd like to move to, which I suppose is part of the issue.

@jake
So you have misskey
Sharkey, a soft fork of misskey with a lot of good additions
Iceshrimp who is a fork of firefish

I don’t really know others at the moment

@tournesol i will take a look. I am using YUNOHost, which I quite like for the admin tools, but because of that I'm stuck on Calckey, not able to easily update to Firefish.

as so, I thought I'd check around to see what options were. I like Calckey, but it doesn't work fantastic for me (mostly on the phone), so I thought maybe a server that let's me us an app would be better.

I do look forward to GoToSocial being more complete, I think it is really the answer for single user servers like myself.

@jake yeah, in that case I’m not sure you can easily migrate your database over another software :c
But yeah, GTS always looked great

btw, just migrated to iceshrimp and they have top notch compatibility to mastodon api and thus a lot of apps (but pretty sure not on yunohost)

@tournesol it is not... but i suppose i could look into what that would take. That one has been recommended to me by someone else, so I will take a look again. maybe I can manually update and then... maintain my own YNH package? that sounds like work. lol.

@jake actually, migrating the database will demand a bit of work too ​:neocat_0_0:​

@tournesol you aren't selling this very well. lol =)

i found the iceshrimp misskey migration docs. will see what I think. In the end, I am starting to think I'll need to move to a different subdomain, rather than update this one... =\

@jake actually, now that I think about it. From Calckey, you don't have to do anything ​:nko_whoaa:​

it would be the same process as going on firefish : just an update

@tournesol i'm not sure how to do that... i see Misskey to Firefish/Iceshrimp migrations, but not Calckey. I suspect for non-YUNOHost it was mostly just an update?
