Mastodon lets you download your complete post archive, so that you have a personal offline copy of all your account's posts and attachments. I've done a guide to downloading your Mastodon archive here:

➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-download-your-mastodon-post-archive

However, I need your help! Can you suggest ways for non-technical people to view their post archives? There's no official viewer, and the only viewers I could find were aimed at techy people.

@FediTips what about a web tool where the person would upload a copy of the archive? I assume it's a zip. Not for permanent storage of course, just to view.

@FediTips I'd think using a web site would be easier than downloading a viewer app - but I can see your point :)

@FediTips spent an hour on this and it's super rough, and you can't actually drag/drop the zip yet.
