No problem! Glad I can help.

More thoughts: It is actually technically possible and doable to manually hack your way into restoring and backfilling posts for a migration. It’s just all the work needed is solely you without support from either project (the source and target of a migration).

Example: Snac2 doesn’t have a DB. It stores directly to the filesystem. Transplanting a #snac2 install to #gotosocial would require a pretty amazing amount of familiarity with each project to get users/settings/posts/blocks/etc. Perhaps less effort would be needed to just add features you want to either project?

If you’re like some users that auto-delete posts after a certain time, then saving the server keys and restoring just user accounts is probably very doable. Just have a blank slate, same cert, and new software (Not sure what magic would be needed for user, follows, followers… maybe more keys?)

Another issue is that the only way to stop dtrace is to kill -9 it, which takes the watched process with it in the fall..

Halp? :)
