So, I wrote a Mastodon to GotoSocial importer. Now would be a good time to tell me why this is a terrible idea.

@splitbrain does the import also set original time on imported posts?

@splitbrain

then you'll have people use it. And then those people will ask you for features. And then you'll feel obligated to implement those features. And then you'll be responsible for this baby until your final breath. Computers were a terrible idea in general. 😉

@splitbrain @gotosocial amazing. I will test this over the weekend.

Are you not importing posts with mentioned because you don't wish to spam the users who was mentioned in the post? You could strip the first @ and replace with something.

@daj @gotosocial no, the main reason is that I think I would need to create local account entries for everyone mentioned and that would require a lot of work.

Since I am pushing all of this directly into the database I have no way to let gotosocial do all the work.

As I mentioned, this is a crude hack that would be much better implemented in gotosocial itself.
