🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 198 (summer project edition) 🏖️​

Hello Fedi friends,

I hope you've been having a nice week so far.

I've been in childcare mode, thus the silence. I've been thinking about something and I would love to get your advice.

#AskFedi: is there a way to export one's #GoToSocial archive of posts (but not replies to other users)? Like something with command lines that doesn't require tedious copy and paste operations?

I wanted to gather up all the posts about the first 6 months of my self-hosting journey, to neatly organize them on my website (either in multiple blog posts or pages) so that they could be more easily searchable. It's not really ideal to go on an infinite scroll quest in reverse chronological order to see the evolution of my self-hosting journey.

Like, I'm curious to see what I was up to in January but going back in time loading old posts takes forever. And I cannot really search for keywords.

I'd like to keep things organized and easily searchable. And implement a POSSE system going forward... publishing on my site first and then syndicating elsewhere.

It's my summer of POSSE inspired by @molly0xfffMolly White 🤗

If you have any ideas about how I can easily export all my #GtS posts, I'm all ears.

If not, I suppose I will start copying and pasting everything and do monthly installments of my self-hosting journey (aka "month 1" etc.). After all I have 1125 posts (sigh).

Anyways, I hope this finds you well and that you're keeping cool in this scorching heat (especially fellow Europeans).

have a lovely morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are ❤️​
