# Move away and keep a copy

Redirect your profile to another Fediverse account, and download your posts or your full archive.

-   First, add your old account as an alias on your new account.
-   Followers switch to your new account as the move reaches their servers.
-   Download your posts as JSON or a full .tar.gz archive to import separately.

You can move an account once every 30 days. Your posts don't move automatically. If you cancel a redirect, followers who already moved don't come back.
