I still can’t believe I built this… Gift Nostr accounts, propose content to Nostr users, and migrate your existing social media accounts. Instagram. TikTok. Twitter. Substack. My site never sees your key or a new users’ key. How? Check the comments. I’m sure this will break, but damn I’ve been having fun building this. Will make a proper tutorial video after battle hardening it. Nostr is the final destination for your content. We need more bridges over here and powerful onboarding tools for our power users. Taking a screen break. Let me know how it goes.. I’m nervous.
Own Your Posts
Bring your content to Primal and Nostr. Own your posts forever.

This is a fantastic idea. When I test it importing for myself, I get the following error here: image

It be great if there was a way to share my profile that isn’t sending my npub as a long string of letters. A short human readable username based url that links to my profile or something. When I send a newb my npub and tell them to add me it doesn’t seem to register that’s my profile. They just see a sketchy string of text that they don’t know what to do with.

Nah, it's flat out Napster 2.0. Instagram owns the data, as per their terms. It's up to Meta not the user. Better to encourage people to just start again.

Sure, but if it ends up on Primal's relay then Meta can sue Primal and will easily win. Especially if a Primal employee is behind it. No fair use defence there. Or just tell Apple and Apple will remove Primal for not having the appropriate systemic moderation tools. This will not happen because all of Nostr is far too small for most on the Meta legal team to have even heard of what Nostr is, let alone Primal. Still though, not a good idea. People need to start again.

If you can allow uploads and parsing for Twitter Backup .zip file. This can help make the migration process more beneficial to users who have more than just a few posts. Probably something similar can be done for other social media too. image

That is awesome! Just imported my Instagram account dating back to 2020. I guess I can remove that 1GB Instagram data export file I kept just in case 😁 Sorry Primal for uploading that much, now I wonder how to import the photos into my relay once I get it running (Blossom?). BTW some issues I noticed @paul keating : When uploading 2 reels I saw 5 connections downloading through proxy-video, it worked fine in the end but some possible performance improvements here. Also when uploading 70 posts, all of them failed saying "Failed to publish to any relay"...but it actually worked fine, so I guess error handling needs some work. View quoted note →

This seems really cool :D Will you add Bluesky or Mastodon support at some point? Those apps allow you to gather MANY more posts from someone's account than Twitter does since they're designed with openness in mind I tried to come up with a Bluesky-Nostr automatic bridge in Python with some Nostr library but I could never get the posts to show up in any Nostr client (I tried Primal and YakiHonne), the accounts I was trying to test with were
Bluesky Social

Being able to parse a backup file would be good for these more closed services I think he should add Bluesky and Mastodon/Fediverse support to this tool since those networks are much more open
