Is there any way to convert a Mastodon DB to a Pleroma DB?

@normandy Oof yeah... I've gotten tons of scam calls from numbers eerily close to mine with the area code and next 5 digits being identical to my number.

social.paritybit.ca will be down for perhaps quite a while as I attempt (yet again) to fix my weird "HTTP code 422 every time I try to edit my profile or do any kind of administration" error.

Nope. Attempt unsuccessful. I tried installing Mastodon on a new server and migrating but kept getting webpack errors. The backend was working but the front-end was not.I hate ruby.

@normandy Yeah... I am genuinely considering setting up a Pleroma instance and telling people to go follow me on that then decommissioning my Masto instance.I think in the long run it would be less of a headache than trying to contend with Mastodon even if the database migration script doesn't work for me.

@mike Definitely going to agree with you there on the Thunderbird UI being a complete mess. Feels way too busy with far too many menus, submenus, icons everywhere...

@x I would basically just set up a single-user pleroma instance like I have with Mastodon then tell people to go follow me over there. After a certain amount of time I'll decommission this mastodon instance and the pleroma instance will become social.paritybit.ca

@x @alex I did try that out on this instance just to see if it would work but encountered an error trying to export data from the Mastodon db :/ I wasn't trying very hard to get it to work though, so I will give it some more effort before resorting to just telling people to go follow me on pleroma. It would make the whole thing a lot easier if I can get it to work for me.Currently running v3.1.2 of masto and the script says it supports v2.8.4 so that might be the cause of my errors.

@alex @x That worked, thanks! :DI'm going to set up a pleroma instance and see if I can successfully import it now.

@alex Ah darn. I keep running into the error:** (Mix) The task "migrator.import" could not be foundWhen trying either `sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod yarn pleroma import` or `sudo -Hu pleroma MIX_ENV=prod mix migrator.import` from within /opt/pleroma.The file /opt/pleroma/migrator/pleroma/lib/mix/tasks/migrator/import.ex does exist though.Sorry if I'm missing something obvious again!@x

@x @alex I wrote up a quick document detailing my environment and what I did:https://ftp.paritybit.ca/masto-to-pleroma-process.txtLet me know if I should open a GitLab issue or send an email for further diagnosing, I know social media isn't really the best place for support :P

@alex @x Hm, I'm a little confused. I followed what was in that script and I have an "/opt/pleroma/migrator" folder with both the migrated data and the "pleroma/" folder inside of it (as well as whatever else is in the git repo, I just copied the entire migrator/ folder from ~/live to /opt/pleroma). Any time I try to run the mix task though I get that error, no matter where I run it or how I try to run it.See https://ftp.paritybit.ca/masto-to-pleroma-process.txt for more detailed info. All of this is on one machine.

@normandy They're really poor quality (much like most of Amazon's products). I bought a bunch of AAA batteries back when I used to buy from Amazon and they die really quickly.

@alex @x I took the contents of the migrator/pleroma/ dir and copied them into /opt/pleroma/ so I now have an /opt/pleroma/lib/mix/ dir which contains migrator.ex and tasks/. However, it still gives me that error (using yarn or running mix manually).Looking at the output of the yarn command, it should execute everything as needed right (it seems to copy the export, copy the pleroma/ folder, then run mix)? Even with that I still get the error.

@shine It would but I'm going from Mastodon to Pleroma so it won't work in this case.
