Into Mastodon, I don’t think it’s possible easily
In friendica, There seems to have work on it, but nothing perfect it seems…

Maybe other people will find a workaround

The last poster says: “I found a roundabout way to go at it by transfering the posts to wordpress, I’ll figure it out from there :)” I would have liked more info on that, though I’m afraid there would still be a catch - I don’t use Wordpress anymore and never was a power user, so I’m not sure it would be possible on a free tier to stash an entire Facebook archive on a Wordpress page - and then what about importing it into the fediverse? There should be a guide for this somewhere.

That sounds like a good approach. If your can get the posts into WordPress, there’s so many number scripts out there that will export the WordPress database into other formats.

You might be able to self-host WordPress if it is just a matter of importing. As WP is federated, you can, presumably cross-post it from there.
