My 'home' instance appears to be having hosting trouble.

I was a bit scared my history would be lost, but then I noticed I could still browse it when I was logged into another instance (on another account).

With a few changes to mastodon-backup I was able to save most of my history this way! I just hard-coded the modifications I needed (raboof@731b2c4) - it would be nice to turn this into a proper feature.

Noticed a limitation: this will not report all followers and following, just the ones on the instance that you're using to make the backup.

(good news: my 'home instance' claims they're at 80% of recovering and expect to become operational again 'soon' 🎉 )
