First Saturday of the New Year!
🎉
This is the perfect timing to backup your Mastodon data!
HOW TO❓
From the web interface:
1. Go to "Preferences" > "Import and export" and in the "Export" section click on "Request your archive" at the bottom
2. Wait for the compressed file to be ready, it can take a few minutes. You might receive an email notification if you have set it up that way 🗜️
3. Once ready, in the same section click on "Download your archive"
(I like to save mine in a local folder I name "MastodonArchive_YYYYMMDD") 📁
4. Then, in the upper section of the same page click on each of the "CSV" buttons you see on the right side and save them in the same local folder 💾
5. Magic!✨
Note: You should probably do this more than once a year too 😉
