Is it possible to migrate back to an old account?

i migrated from mastodon to firefish recently, and now i'm thinking of moving back to mastodon on account of the shit mobile support firefish has. is this possible?

I would imagine the same process works. You might need to turn off the redirect on Mastodon before creating the alias there.
- gotcha
What are you missing with the Firefish pwa? I think it's possible to switch from Firefish to Mastodon if the account is only deactivated and not deleted, but Mastodon doesn't take over the posts when you move.
- it's kinda laggy sometimes, and it loses my timeline position a lot of the time when i open a thread/profile
  
  Maybe try some third party native mobile apps. Fire fish supports the mastodon api so you can use any mastodon app with it.
You can try Fedilab or a Misskey mobile app
- fedilab doesnt work with firefish
  
  Ah, that's disappointing

  Ah, Unfortunate!. Looks like folks are trying to persuade the developer. Might help to add your voice to the chorus!

  #Fedilab is great, a true mobile app that works with Mastodon and most other Federated apps quite well. I've used it with Pixelfed too. Buy the developer a beer too. ;-D
