First Saturday of the New Year! :blobcatrainbow: 🎉

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 :blocky_white_cursor:

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 😉
