Migration Hubzilla to Streams

Sat, 04 Feb 2023 20:58:03 +0100

Hi there,

is it possible (easy, or with detailed instructions) to migrate a Hubzilla hub to a streams instance? I have a hub which would better fit as streams.

You can create a clone, but it is a one time operation intended as a migration from Hubzilla to streams. After that, these clones will not sync with each other because the data formats are radically different. I've tried to always provide a path for nomadic identities to upgrade and move forward. You can make Hubzilla backward compatible with streams if you want, but that's out of scope for what I'm doing.

I see. Thank you. This means, the cloning action does a onetime sync which then is a standalone channel in streams after that?

Yes.
