zeitverschreib [friendica]<p>With the update to <a href="https://freundica.de/search?tag=Pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> 0.12.5, I was finally able to export all my statuses. Before that, there was a hard limit of 500. Even though I only had about 170 posts of my own, all shares and likes and stuff counted into that balance, hence no download for me. Yet.</p><p>Now that I got a nice .json file, I used Excel to convert this into a usable table. Yeah, I know, Excel! But LibreCalc doesn’t understand .json and I have to use Microsoft shit at work anyhow. So why not take advantage of that?</p><p>The Pixelfed export contains not only texts, but also the URLs for all images. Copy that column of URLs to a text file, push it through WGET et voilà, a directory full of joy.</p><p>All I have to do is write a short macro which takes the available info from the spreadsheet and creates separate .md files for use in <a href="https://freundica.de/search?tag=Hugo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hugo</span></a> or whatever platform I want to show the images on.</p><p>Since I don’t need any Pixelfed-specific functions, I can now close down my two instances. Future images will go to <a href="https://freundica.de/search?tag=Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a> and – via another script yet to be written – also to my blog.</p><p><a href="https://freundica.de/search?tag=selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a></p>
