Good evening. I remember you mentioned exporting your toots from mastodon to local scrapbook. Could you refer me to said toot/explain the process, please? I need to do something similar for my toots (there is a substantial amount now) and doing manually looks… Oh well, boring. I know some python and probably can glue together a bash script or two in necessary.

@academicalnerd

The toot you are looking for is here: qoto.org/@FailForward/10566422

To clarify, I cared for downloading only the public timeline toots of mine, not replies, nor DMs, etc. and wanted it to be done quick and dirty. If you care about all your toots, you probably just want to export everything. In that case use import export function in Preferences and parse the resulting JSON. Easier and more complete.

As for the actual adapted script I used, I uploaded the snippet here: git.qoto.org/-/snippets/159

Good luck!

@FailForward
Thanks a lot! I’ll chack it out as soon as I have enough time.
