Time Sensitive Announcement

🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

home.social will close down TOMORROW June 16th, 2023 23:59 CET. Please migrate your accounts in time to avoid losing content and followers. Thanks.

Quick and dirty instructions. Please note I don't know how to transfer posts. Mine are gone but for an archive. Correct me in the comments if you know how.

1

I kind of fumbled around until it worked.

First make a new account. A lot of us are on
ohai.social. <<< click linky

2

In the app...

Home button -->
Settings gear button -->
Account settings
Moving from a different account. Enter your old account there.

This only starts the process.

3

Log back into your old home.social account.

Export followers and post archive. Also grab your av and header image.

Then go the same settings page as before on your old home account. Enter your new ohai name in the "move to a different account".

You should have the option of transferring some data.

4

There should now be a redirect on your old home.social profile.

Log into your new ohai.social account.

Import the followers if you have to, upload av and header image.

Posts - I think they're gone. If I'm wrong, please let me know what to do.
