Export or Import Fediverse Configuration

Use configuration export and import when you want to repeat a working Fediverse setup across sites or preserve reusable settings before major changes. This saves time and reduces mistakes compared with rebuilding the configuration by hand.

Before you begin

You need a Pro license. The transfer toolbar actions are not available in lower tiers.
You need Joomla Administrator access to the Fediverse component.
Import replaces the current portable Fediverse configuration on the target site.
Export and import do not move runtime federation history or cryptographic identity material.

What the package includes

Fediverse component options except local license data
Fediverse scheduler task settings
per-user federation settings
per-content federation settings
domain policies
OAuth clients

What the package does not include

the current site’s license key
the current site’s LemonSqueezy activation binding
local actors
signing keys
followers
inbox, outbox, and delivery history
other runtime federation records

Export a package

Open Components -> Fediverse -> Dashboard.
In the toolbar, select Export Configuration.
Save the downloaded JSON file in a secure location.

Import a package

Open Components -> Fediverse -> Dashboard on the target site.
In the toolbar, select Import Configuration.
In the import dialog, choose the exported JSON file.
Select the confirmation checkbox.
Select Import Configuration.
Wait for Joomla to reload the dashboard and show the success message.

Check your result

Open the Fediverse settings or the relevant admin views that the package should affect.
Confirm the expected scheduler settings, domain policies, user settings, content settings, or OAuth clients are present.
Open Users -> User Actions Log.
Set Extension to Fediverse Integration.
Confirm Joomla recorded an import or export action.

Troubleshooting

If the transfer buttons are not available, confirm the site has an active Pro license.
If Joomla reports that the package is invalid, export a fresh package from a working Fediverse site and retry the import.
If the import button does nothing, confirm you selected a file and enabled the confirmation checkbox.
If expected runtime data is missing after import, review the package scope. Runtime queues, actors, followers, and keys are intentionally excluded.
