They're pretty far along, and they have an FF feed import feature (that I haven't tried yet). You should be able to sign up at http://www.frenf.it/earlyad...
- Stephen Mack

Looks very cool so far. I'm holding off on importing until I decide how I want to handle a personal backup. I may just import the one room I have and DM's, and then start relatively fresh.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I'm in as dendroica. Edit: http://www.frenf.it/earlyad...

join us...
- bezdomnyj82
I'm in as technodad. Holding off on importing for a bit, though.
- Technodad
I like that they have a "Trash" feature -- deleted posts and comments are saved for you to restore until you empty the trash. Supported imports so far are Twitter and Tumblr. And they have an RSS feed for your feed!
- Stephen Mack
Nice! *crosses fingers for a flickr import*
- Jennifer Dittrich
The nicer features are: a) the like to comment and b) the dislike!
- vale (acaso)
I love the comment like!
- Jennifer Dittrich
don't forget the "bookmark" option without expressing liking or disliking
- bezdomnyj82
I am there same username will start linking up soon :-)

Hope they add an RSS import of any sort. Lots of stuff can come in that way.

I'm in. bentleywg, like here. I'll look into it later, but I'm in.

Hmm. Tried to look at it, and my account's been disabled. That was fast. I'll try again in a few days.
- walt crawford
Oooh
- Soup in a TARDIS
Walt, all accounts start as disabled until you confirm the e-mail they send. It took about 30 minutes for me to get my e-mail and enable my account when I signed up.
- Stephen Mack
come to the frenf.it side, we have cookies
- Lucretia, my reflection ൠ
It's being developed by one person as a side-project, and he's under some pressure given the Apr 9 deadline. It might be rough here and there, but please try and be patient :)
- PI
Hmm, I didn't get any confirmation email, but I started off by trying to create via hookup to my Twitter account.
- Andrew C (see frenf.it)
In as oajoe.
- Back to just Joe
My email came instantly :)
- Brent Schaus
I got mine pretty fast as well.
- Jennifer Dittrich
(Also if someone is in touch with FF founders or maintainers, we'd love to understand if there's a better/more efficient way to transfer content over there)
- PI
hi there.
- aurora
keep in mind that frenf.it is a pet projcet of senape, and he does not have a lot of bandwidth (and disk space: this is why for example pics and videos are not stored locally)
- .mau.
PI or .mau. feel free to give him my contact info [email protected], and I can help provide some advice (about the efficiency of transfer) and maybe offer some storage facilities.) Right now, I'm also pushed by the deadline, to extend the life of content while also reducing strain on FriendFeed's servers, and providing better archives, but only have 5-6 hours a day to give, except on the weekends.
- OCoG of FF, Jimminy
Hi Jimminy, I am the author of one of the "export scripts" out there (https://github.com/claudio...) I have just a simple question (which is a recurring one, by the users of my script): Do you know the reason behind the API limit? Is it set to prevent the server stress or just because the data is not there anymore? Thank you!
- Claudio Cicali
@Claudio: the data still exists. Jimminy wrote that deleting newer posts the older ones appear, and that there is a kind of resilience, so that you may *undelete* the newer posts. So, I think that it was just a hard-coded limit.
- .mau.
@Jimminy - I'll try to contact senape, but I am not sure that he will answer promptly (he works in Brussels but his family is still in Italy, and a couple of hours ago he wrote that he was taking a plane to return home...)
- .mau.
It's fine, I have a relaxed enough schedule, that I can respond at his leisure.
- OCoG of FF, Jimminy
Looks like this has been around about 2 or more years.
- Back to just Joe
^ data is definitely there: I can follow 'earlier' links on my feed page up to the very first post, but these early post are neither exportable nor even searchable any more.
- 9000
Do I take this to mean you guys have dropped Ello? *ducking for cover*
- Stephan Planken
taoofcoffee http://www.frenf.it/earlyad... :)
- Jenny H.
This is me! http://www.frenf.it/earlyad...
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
*admires the huge brains in this thread*
- MoTO Boychick Devil
@9000: that would be phase 2 of import, according to Senape. Have a look at http://frenf.it/earlyad... and http://frenf.it/earlyad...
- .mau.
Stephan, I'm optimistic about Ello in the long-term but I don't think it will ever be similar to here.
- Stephen Mack
me http://www.frenf.it/earlyad... ... what is ello?
- Halil
@Claudio, it's possible, but you have to store the id's of the posts, while processing, then you delete the oldest 500-1000 posts (1 request for each deletion), fetch 10 more pages of 100 posts each (start=9x00-10000), repeat that process until you hit the end with a page less than 100 items, then you restore all the posts you marked deleted, (another request for every post deleted).
- OCoG of FF, Jimminy
So I registered, MaryCarmen. How do I find you folks?
- Mary Carmen
for y'all English speakers: on http://www.frenf.it/earlyad... we'll try to answer questions. Keep however in mind that frenf.it is closed source: I for one do not know its inner workings, even if I am using it since it started in 2012
- .mau.
Me, too: http://www.frenf.it/earlyad....
- Steven Perez
Very glad you're joining! Feel free to ask your questions here or in the the official room in frenf.it http://www.frenf.it/earlyad... I do my best to reply to everybody, but for the faq i'll provide an english version of the faq soon (maybe tonight after midnight gmt+1)
- senape. quello di frenfit
My FF import is going slow, and meanwhile neither my Tumblrs nor my Twitter accounts, which I've hooked up to frenf, have started importing anything.
- Andrew C (see frenf.it)
@Walt, terms and conditions are pretty easy, they're written in complicated lawyer style. Pretty much, they say that you are the only responsible for what you write and post and comment. You are the only owner of whatever you write, and once you delete it is deleted forever, but a copy on the backup for legal reasons, and you cannot post hate or racist messages. Kinda.
- senape. quello di frenfit
Thank you! Welcome abroad And please visit our country!

Ehi, Old and New friends, I kinda started a thanking meme here ( http://www.frenf.it/earlyad... )for Senape, the developer, by taking a picture with your mustard (senap)
- bezdomnyj82
senape: Not really too worried about the T&C--and yes, my confirming email link came and I seem to be in now. Bookmarked in my tiny "sn section"; I'll try it here and there. (Been to Italy, more than once, thanks.)
- walt crawford
Be my guest! :) I wish you all will stay, I'm working very hard to improve its performance. After the final development of the friendfeed import, I'll re-activate the real time feature, so that comments and posts will be updated without refreshing the page.
- senape. quello di frenfit
Halil: it is a relatively new social network. Several people here signed up (including myself) but it didn't seem to gain much traction. https://ello.co

http://www.frenf.it/earlyad... Here I am, testing the import function right now
- لرد فرهاد
Thanks guys for this great project, but as the deadline approaches we're in desperate need of a full backup script / function that can bypass 10100 API limit. if anyone can help, Claudio's script is a fantastic baseline to start.
- لرد فرهاد
Non ci pou trasferire della friendfeed, ancora? Quando pensi che possiamo transferire tutti? Grazie!
- نومیا
The problem is that the approach suggested by jimminy is quite dangerous: DOWNLOAD XXX posts, DELETE XXX posts, DOWNLOAD XXX + 1 ... and then at the end re-post everything. Doing this with an automated script would generate too many corner cases (what it the delete fails? What if the download fails but NOT the delete? What if SOME download/delete fails? What if the re-post is not succesfull?) etc...
- Claudio Cicali
mille Grazie ragazzi... Noi, ragazzi da Iran, tutti aspettiamo per boun risultati. Molto strano, ma perche voglono fermare Friendfeed. vi Aspettiamo!
- نومیا
I'm webgoddess in Italian, too. Look at me being all multinational.
- WebGoddess
Claudio we will lost our whole data in less than a month, the risk is completely acceptable, it's a little bit dramatic to say but having a chance is better than not doing anything to save our data at all
- لرد فرهاد
Boun Lavoro!
- نومیا
Is there anyone willing to donate an almost empty account to the cause? FF doesn't allow to create new accounts, and if I – or whoever else – wants to try this road, we need a "guinea pig" account to test the feasibility of the idea. I won't test it on mine :) The idea would be to "pump" thousand of posts on that account and the try to back them up... several times.
- Claudio Cicali
Aspetta! forse ce'!

- Claudio Cicali
Claudio: DonationCoder has an account with just 19 subscribers, most of which I think are inactive. It has about 1000 existing posts, but we will not mind allowing you to use it to test with. In fact, we'd be proud to, if it could help save everyone's data.
- April Russo (FForever!)
