while it's nice that #mastodon is technically #decentralized, it's important to be aware of the limitations. for example, there is a feature to migrate your account to another instance, but *your posts do not come with you.* while there is a separate feature to export your posts, there is no way to import them.

a request to "Support post migration" has been around and discussed for more than five years, currently stalled on some technic decision-making that leadership doesn't appear to be actively interested in: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

nor are there are any public plans to move forward on this: joinmastodon.org/roadmap

since that issue was created, there have been multiple high-profile instance shutdowns, even of big-name instances. i am concerned that these sorts of problems can and will - over time - discourage folks from taking a chance on anything but the biggest, best-funded instances, and reduce effective user choice. does this sound like a familiar pattern to anybody?

My colleague has just published an article on a recent database migration. I worked with him to optimize one of our subsystem by sharding and re-partitioning. It was an interesting experience... and we even didn't break anything 😅

ChartMogulHow Migrating Our Database Eliminated Data Processing IncidentsTL;DR We sharded one of the core ChartMogul databases and changed its tables’ partitioning scheme from LIST to HASH.

Pixelfed Brain Trust: I'm trying to import my Instagram history into my own self-hosted server, but the importer is asking for a media.json file that no longer exists in Instagram's latest data download format. Furthermore, there is also NO photos directory either.
