Oi #Fediverse..
Check out this 2min walkthrough of #Emissary's upcoming data migration tool. It's the last big feature I'm delivering in 2025.
It uses the "LOLA" data portability spec to transfer account data from one server (like Bandwagon.fm) to a new one (like bandwagon.your-band-here.biz)
No CSV files required. Just authenticate and approve, and everything just moves.
There's tons more to do, but I'm confident this will be live by Christmas. 🤘🏻

How the Brain Chooses What to Remember and What to Forget
Long-term memory emerges from a sequence of molecular programs that sort, stabilize, and reinforce important experiences.
Understanding these timers may allow researchers to bypass damaged brain regions and preserve memories in degenerative conditions.
