Detailed description

My current Mastodon-Home instance is shutting down soon, so I'm migrating to a new one. One of the steps involved migrating all my lists – i.e. exporting them from the current home and importing to the future one. Export worked fine, Import missed some "followed" accounts (those no longer reachable) – but bookmarks failed entirely.

I walked the bookmark export line by line, removing bookmarks…

• where the server did no longer exist
• where the server gave a 404 or similar
• where I found the toots to be "private" (i.e. addressed to my original home account only, aka "DM to me")

Then I tried importing the resulting file – and fully succeeded.

Expected behavior would have been similar to that of followed accounts: data that is reachable should have been imported, skipping only the "broken ones".

Specifications

Mastodon 3.5.3
