[kwlug-disc] Riding the Mastodon?

[John Steel]

The CSVs are for your followers / lists / who you've blocked but you can't export/import toots (posts). 

Here's my export page with CSV next to items that can be exported:

Posts 10
Follows 21 CSV
Lists 1 CSV
Followers 11 
You block 1 CSV
You mute 0 CSV
Domain blocks 0 CSV
Bookmarks 4 CSV

Followers cannot be exported to CSV but should be migrated when you configure your from_masto_instance to direct to your new_masto_instance.
