Account and data management

How do I move my seed (account) from one pod to another?

Version 0.7.0.0 of diaspora* provides the first stage of account migration: you can now export all your data from the “Account” section of the user settings. Keep your data safely! In a future release you will be able to migrate your whole account, including posts and contacts, to another pod.

Can I download a copy of all of my data contained in my seed (account)?

Yes. At the bottom of the Account tab of your settings page you will find two buttons: one for downloading your data and one for downloading your photos.

How do I delete my seed (account)?

Go to the bottom of your settings page and click the “Close account” button. You will be asked to enter your password to complete the process. Remember, if you close your account, you will <strong>never</strong> be able to re-register your username on that pod.
