I’d like to move to a custom mastodon instance, but the archivist/hoarder in me hates the idea of losing all my current activity. Are there any solid workarounds for this yet?

    It would be nice. Other than to take a copy with you, not that I'm aware of. You need to make a copy before deleting the old account, or it's all gone. Having an archive is better than nothing.

    I can read my old stuff in a copy, and I suppose I could cut-and-paste things, but I don't make any use of it, myself.
