@erick let me know if you find a solution to this Erick! I just discovered the slurp functionality (can I call it that?) yesterday and I was curious about it. Not because I wanna try it, but just: cool feature! It's the first time I hear something like that is even possible... ok, in Sharkey you can technically import old posts but I hear that is a little buggy... anyhow, good luck and let me know how it goes!

@_elena I guess the "right" name for slurp is "migration tool" 🤔. Anyway, I didn't find one (I didn't search too hard though) so I decied to write my own migration script.

It is going well so far . I downloaded the db files from my server yesterday and started looking 🕵️ at the tables and fields to figure out what needs to be copied and what needs to be updated. Today I started writing the migration tool in Python 🐍, so far my script can read all rows that need to be migrated from the old db and I am in the process of writing the code to write the new rows with the required updates into the new db. Once that is done I will need to also write a couple of functions to transfer attachments (pictures, emojis, etc) from the old S3 bucket to the new one (I am not storing files directly on the server).

Once the script is "ready" to test I'll probably make a acouple of tests with a throwaway instance in my laptop and a temporal S3 bucket. If I don't f*** it up 🤞 , I’ll try to do it for reals and share the script in case anyone else needs to mess around with it 🤓.
