Migrating to/from the TurtleIs.land PDS is not currently an option

Part of the great future promise of the Bluesky AT protocol is true and complete account portability including content. Accent on the word future. As you can see from Bluesky:

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ ️
Account migration is a potentially destructive operation. Part of the operation involves signing away your old PDS’s ability to make updates to your DID. If something goes wrong, you could be permanently locked out of your account, and Bluesky will not be able to help you recover it.

Therefore, we do not recommend migrating your primary account yet. And we specifically recommend against migrating your main account if you do not understand how PLC operations work.

Also, the Bluesky PDS is not currently accepting incoming migrations (it will in the future). Therefore this is currently a one-way street. If you migrate off of bsky.social, you will not be able to return. However, you will be able to migrate between other PDSs.

Unless you are Bluesky developer level and can write the code as instructed in that document… I know I’m not and can’t… forget about this for now. Currently the function for migration to a Bluesky PDS such as TurtleIs.land is not an option. We expect this to change but there is no ETA. When this changes it will be documented here.

Likewise, there is no function for migrating back to the Bluesky mothership. We also expect this to change but there is no ETA. When this changes it will be documented here.

Thanks!
