Handy, dandy Mastodon Archive:

@viciousviscosity Any examples of good ways to carve up the data once it's downloaded?

@kemonine If you use the html option, it will split the data into multiple html files for easy perusal. Or you can use text if you;d rather grep it that way.

@kemonine Yeah, that's what I did, exported the HTML and just rolled through it backward over the course of my #Mastoversary day

I had about as many toots as @viciousviscosity to get through, though, and it was exhausting to get through them all that day 😓

@zigg @kemonine
There is a… *scrawling complex formulae on whiteboard, using ladders to reach higher and higher*
approximately 0% chance I will make it through my archive today. 😅

@viciousviscosity Say no more, I'll look through your archive for you and take over. What are besties for, right? 😈 @kemonine

@viciousviscosity @zigg Yeah, I don't think the ~25k toots across my accounts are going to be sifted through quickly.

😛

@kemonine @viciousviscosity I went through uhhhh 14k?

@zigg @viciousviscosity 🤗 for that slog...

I don't think I could do that in a week let alone a day like you did.

@kemonine @viciousviscosity It was so worth it though. So many good memories. 😊

@zigg @viciousviscosity True, time to be patient while these download.

/me is growing more and more curious by the moment

@kemonine You can always spread it out over the course of multiple days. Don’t have to go HAM like me 😅

@zigg I may have to do that...

Right now it's pulling data from my 4 primaries.

Let's see what this holds once it's all cached locally.

@viciousviscosity @kemonine This is so cool! Thank you for sharing this, as I was starting to look into building something similar. 😊

@phessler
It begins, again! 😆

@viciousviscosity it's really funny, and I apparently missed it the first time around.
