       @gotosocial Is there any way to convert a single-user Mastodon instance into a GoToSocial instance? Like, migrate the database, and use the existing key pair so I could use the same domain name and fediverse handle? I set up my Mastodon before I knew about go to social, and I would love to have a less-resource-intensive instance.

       Let us know if you find a solution. Technically, it must be possible, but may be very manual. I am also much more interested in programs written in #go now than when we set up our self-hosted #pleroma instance, though the resource usage of Pleroma isn't too bad.

       @matthew @gotosocial I know next to nothing about the schema of the Mastodon database, but between that and the config file, everything's got to be there.

       @steve @gotosocial Seems like you could probably write a quick script to import the export data from Mastodon.However, I saw something about not being able to use the same domain name for both. Because of some detail about ActivityPub registration for existing servers; which you can't override. But I don't have any details on that or even know if it is true.

       @jackwilliambell @gotosocial Yeah, you can't typically reuse a fediverse handle or domain name because each instance depends on a public/private key pair where other instances know the public key. So you can't just have another instance with the same name but using a different key. I'm proposing removing the Mastodon instance altogether and creating a GoToSocial instance with the same domain and the same key pair.

       @steve @gotosocial That might be the part that's hard. Because simply moving an account seems pretty easy.> https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/migration/

       @jackwilliambell @gotosocial Yeah, I don't want to migrate my account, I want to replace my instance.

       @steve @gotosocial Well, you could set up the GotoSocial site, configure it, and then move your account. But now you got the domain name issue.I wonder, is it the domain name? As in 'example.com'? Or is it the fully qualified name, as in 'www.example.com'?Because if it is the latter, you could simply set up the GotoSocial site on a different URL, configure it by hand, and then move your account. Done. (Modulo any move issues.)
