   @mikael @clacke @lambadalambda I've seen many GS users hop from one instance to another. I think if you were to migrate, you'd do it that way (with a new domain name)

     @lambadalambda Main thing user accounts, I'd say, then re-create following/follower relationships. Statuses would be the huge thing but imo the most acceptable of trade-offs. How are passwords saved in GS?

     @gargron No idea, might be necessary to just reset passwords for ever user. Does Mastodon use the same URL structure as GS? I really have to look into it.

     @lambadalambda @gargron Killing existing links is a biggie. When Evan migrated identi.ca, years worth of interesting links went silent. :-(

     @gargron @mikael @lambadalambda Maybe an archiving tool for GS is in order. But you could still have a proxy gs-like-url -> archived static.

     @clacke @mikael @gargron As GS is just Atom feeds, you should be able to use any feedreader that can archive stuff.

     @lambadalambda @mikael @clacke Okay just a point while yes it's Atom feeds, conventional feed readers don't support ActivityStreams so a lot of stuff would not get displayed

     @lambadalambda @mikael @gargron Well, I mean archiving and presenting, with preserved URLs.

     @lambadalambda @mikael @gargron You could just wget --mirror it of course, but it feels very brute-force.
