Hi, I’m not self hosting, but I’ve realised I’ve spent a decent amount of time on this social media, and written a few things I may want to revisit in the future.

I was wondering if there was a way to “back up” my account, so if something happened to my host instance, I would still be able to have a copy of the comments and posts I made :).

I’m not expecting to be able to “transfer” my account to a new one, but have a backup of posts and comments for personal storage, having a copy on my harddrive.

    Yeah, I know that’s not possible as of now. Just wondering if there is a simpler way to get a copy of my comments and posts than using a web scraper.

      That definitely sounds like a feature that should be added. I remember when you couldn’t even export your subscriptions.
