Bringing your data with you

1. Export from your old app. Simply Plural exports your data as a JSON file from its settings. PluralKit gives you a download link from its export command. Tupperbox and Octocon have an export command too. Keep the file somewhere you can find it.
2. Create your account here. Create your account, or sign in if you already have one.
3. Import. Open Settings, choose Your Data, then Import. Pick your source, upload the file, and your system comes across.

Afterwards, look through your members. Everyone arrives private, so share only what you want shared, one member at a time.

From every source

• Your members: names, pronouns, colors, birthdays, descriptions, and more where the file has them.
• Your groups, as real groups here with their members linked, not a line of text.
• PluralKit proxy tags and Tupperbox brackets, kept as a short labeled line on each member so how a member proxies is never lost.

From Simply Plural

• Front history and custom fronts.
• Custom fields.
• Reflections, letters, internal messages and sticky notes.
• Polls and reminders.

Profile pictures are the one thing that cannot be copied. Simply Plural’s image servers are gone, so each member arrives with a letter tile in their own color until you add a picture here.

From PluralKit and Octocon

• Your front history, rebuilt from your switch log.
• Your system’s own name, avatar and color, filled in only where you have not set them yet. What you have already chosen is never overwritten.
• Your system description, pronouns and tag, saved as an imported note.

A few Discord-bot details have no meaning here and are deliberately left out:

• Proxy behavior switches such as keep-proxy, text-to-speech and autoproxy.
• Message and post counts.
• Banner images.

Your original export file still has them if you ever want them.

No matter what a member’s visibility was in the other app, every imported member is private to your system until you choose to share them. Nothing is exposed by an import, and no supporter, friend or community space can see a member you have not opened up yourself.

If you import the same file again, or a newer export of the same system, members, groups and history are matched against what you already have and updated rather than duplicated. You can bring a fresh export any time without cleaning up afterwards.

If you keep using PluralKit alongside this space, you can connect it so changes you make there are pulled in here, and you can choose, member by member, whether edits made here are sent back. Nothing is pushed to PluralKit for a member unless you turn that on for them.

Export, under Settings and Your Data, downloads your whole account as one archive: members with their history, every reflection including private journals, your front log, letters, messages, polls, settings and more. It is a complete copy in the same shape as the database, so your data is always portable.

• Restoring it brings each member back as a new member by default.
• You can match a member to one you already have, so their history reconnects instead of duplicating.
• Direct messages, community posts and connections are not restored, because a conversation belongs to two systems at once and cannot be rebuilt from one side.
