Migrate From Koji to UniLink (More Stable Platform, Better Analytics)

Move your creator mini-apps and monetization tools to a stable, actively developed platform before you lose your audience.

  • Koji has been sunset and is no longer actively maintained — your links and mini-apps may stop working at any time.
  • UniLink offers stable equivalents for every Koji mini-app: products, forms, bookings, tip jars, and more — all in one managed platform.
  • Migration requires documenting your Koji setup, recreating equivalent UniLink blocks, then updating all your bio links before Koji goes fully dark.

If you built your creator presence around Koji's mini-apps — tip jars, product storefronts, fan games, and custom interactions — you've likely already noticed the warning signs: fewer updates, error messages that don't get fixed, and the general uncertainty of a platform that lost its momentum. Koji's shutdown means everything you built on it is at risk of disappearing without warning. Moving to UniLink protects what you've built and gives you a platform with a clear roadmap, a growing user base, and a support team that's actively building new features. This migration guide is about acting before you're forced to.

What Migrating From Koji Does

Koji's original promise was powerful: a marketplace of mini-apps creators could drop onto their profile — tip jars, wishlists, trivia games, product sales, fan DMs. The execution was creative, but the platform was always complex to maintain and the app ecosystem was fragmented. UniLink replaces all of this with a unified block system where every type of creator monetization — products, bookings, subscriptions, email collection, fan interactions — is a first-class, supported feature rather than a third-party app that might break.

Platform stability is the most urgent reason to migrate. UniLink is actively developed and growing. Your links will still resolve a year from now. Your products will still process payments. Your analytics will still track clicks. That certainty is something Koji can no longer offer. Migrating now, while you have time to do it carefully and communicate the change to your audience, is dramatically better than scrambling when Koji's servers go offline.

The analytics improvement is also significant. Koji's analytics were fragmented across individual mini-apps — each app reported its own numbers with no unified view. UniLink gives you a single dashboard showing all traffic, all conversions, and all revenue in one place. For the first time, you'll be able to see your entire creator business at a glance rather than piecing together numbers from a dozen different mini-app reports.

How to Get Started

  1. Before anything else, document your entire Koji setup. List every mini-app you have active, what it does, what the URL is, and any configuration details (prices, form fields, game settings). Screenshot each one.
  2. Create a free account at unilink.us and choose a username. If your Koji profile used a custom username, try to match it — brand consistency matters for your audience's recognition.
  3. Open the UniLink dashboard at app.unilink.us and set up your profile header: photo, display name, and bio. Match your Koji profile's look and voice as closely as possible.
  4. Map each Koji mini-app to a UniLink block equivalent. Tip jar → Donation block. Product storefront → Product block. Email collection → Email signup block. Booking → Booking block. Custom links → Link block.
  5. Start recreating your highest-traffic Koji apps first. Check your Koji analytics to identify which mini-apps were driving the most engagement and prioritize those for immediate recreation in UniLink.

How to Complete the Migration

  1. Recreate all remaining Koji mini-apps as UniLink blocks. For any Koji app that doesn't have a direct UniLink equivalent, find the closest approximation or use a link block pointing to an external tool until a native solution is available.
  2. Connect Stripe for any products or donations. Go to Settings → Payments in app.unilink.us and complete the Stripe onboarding. This is required before any payment-enabled blocks go live.
  3. If Koji generated any revenue, export your customer/backer contact list from Koji before the platform shuts down. You can upload these contacts to your email marketing tool and send a migration announcement.
  4. Update every bio link — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Discord, everywhere — to your new UniLink page. Post an announcement to your audience explaining the move and the new link.
  5. Set a firm cutover date. Once you're satisfied your UniLink page is complete, stop promoting your Koji URL and treat UniLink as your primary link. Don't wait for Koji to force the issue.

Tip: Send an email or post to your audience announcing the platform change before you switch your bio link. A short "I moved to a new page" message reduces confusion and ensures your most engaged followers update their bookmarks proactively.

Get the Most Out of UniLink After Migrating

The move from Koji to UniLink is an opportunity to audit your entire creator monetization setup, not just copy it over. As you recreate each Koji mini-app, ask whether it was actually working. If your tip jar never got used, maybe a low-priced digital product would convert better. If your form collected leads that went nowhere, maybe a booking block where people can schedule time with you would be more valuable. UniLink's broader block library makes this the right moment to level up your offering, not just replicate the old one.

Set up email collection immediately. Koji had fan messaging features, but no owned email list. UniLink's email signup block lets you build a list that's yours regardless of what platform you're on. Connect it to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or any other email tool you use, and offer your audience an incentive to sign up — early access, exclusive content, or a discount code.

UniLink's subscription block lets you monetize recurring support without the complexity of running a full Patreon-style membership site. If Koji's tip jar was your primary fan support mechanism, subscriptions could replace and significantly increase that revenue stream. A $3/month "supporter" tier with a small benefit tends to outperform one-time tip jars for most creator audiences.

Use the analytics dashboard on day one to establish a performance baseline. UniLink starts tracking clicks and conversions as soon as you go live. Check it daily for the first two weeks to spot any blocks that aren't getting engagement and iterate quickly. After two weeks you'll have enough data to make confident decisions about what to keep, move, or rework on your page.

Pros of Migrating

  • Move from a sunset platform to one that's actively maintained and growing
  • Unified analytics across all monetization tools in one dashboard
  • First-party blocks with guaranteed support — no more broken third-party mini-apps
  • Email list building and subscription tiers that Koji never offered natively

Things to Plan For

  • Documenting your full Koji setup before migrating takes time — do it before Koji goes fully dark
  • Communicating the platform change to your audience requires a proactive announcement
  • Some highly custom Koji apps may need temporary external tool bridges

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Koji completely shut down or just unstable?

Koji has significantly reduced its operations and active development. The platform is in an uncertain state where some features still function but maintenance and support are minimal. Migrating proactively is strongly recommended rather than waiting for a definitive shutdown announcement.

Can I export my Koji data before migrating?

Koji's export options are limited. Export any customer or fan contact data while you still can. Product information, mini-app configurations, and analytics are generally not exportable in bulk — document them manually with screenshots and notes.

Will UniLink add more block types to replace Koji's more exotic mini-apps?

UniLink's block library is actively expanding. For highly specific Koji apps with no current UniLink equivalent, the recommended approach is to use a Link block pointing to a specialized external tool as a temporary measure while evaluating UniLink's roadmap.

How do I tell my audience about the migration without losing engagement?

Post a simple announcement across your channels: "I've moved to a new link page — update your bookmarks to [UniLink URL]." Pin it for a few days. The audience loss from a platform switch is minimal when you communicate it clearly and promptly.

Does UniLink have a tip jar or donation block like Koji did?

Yes. UniLink supports donation/tip blocks connected to Stripe. You can set suggested amounts or let fans choose their own. This directly replaces Koji's tip jar functionality with the added benefit of Stripe's full payment infrastructure.

Key Takeaways
