I wonder if there's a way to make an archive of toots on mastodon? sort of like on tumblr or even livejournal. right now it feels more like livejournal to me than anything else has in decades - and I'd love to cultivate that. the only thing that's missing is the calendar.
@skirts You can definitely export your data to make sure it doesn't get lost. Or run your own instance. But it sounds like you are looking for a plugin or website that would save your toots in a blog-like form, is that right?
Not sure if it's out there, but I bet it can be done. Toots are easily embedded. (I just tried!)
@fenwick67 @thomnottom man mastodon rules
@thomnottom yeah this is what I was thinking! I've been fantasizing about finally setting up a home server - maybe this is the reason to finally get around to it. thank you!
@thomnottom @skirts all of your public toots are accessible via a paginated atom feed, so an automated backup tool would be straightforward to make
