@admin For anyone reading who needs a new instance https://connectop.us has room for more. We are a tiny instance spun up when mastodon.lol shutdown. We also made a step-by-step guide to move. The screenshots are from .lol and our server, but work for any Mastodon instance. Another place to look for an instance is https://instances.social/ . Mentions only (DM) me if you'd like help moving regardless where you decide to go, I am happy to help as I can. #NewInstance #FindNewInstance #ServerChange #ChageServer #NewServer #FindNewServer #MoveAccount #AccountMigration

@tobiaalberti
Thanks for sharing. I tried to make the video as easy to follow as I could.
Hopefully it will be helpful for others too. :neko_nyaan:

Kia ora! #Introduction: #moving here from @mastodon.social because it's bigger than its organisers want (over 900,000 users) and I can't keep up with its local #timeline. A #NewZealand-based #instance is the obvious #MoveAccount choice: my #parents and I were all born here and my #OE doesn't extend even as far as #StewartIsland or #KapitiIsland). I'm an administrator on newzealand.fandom.com - one of #Fandom's fairly quiet #Wikis. #chess #civilization #freeciv #Forest&Bird #UNICEF #genealogy

Hi, "Move to a different account" tells me:

* This action will move all followers from the current account to the new account
* No other data will be moved automatically

Does this mean that the accounts I follow myself are not automatically transferred? And that I have to solve this by doing an export on my current account and then importing it on the new account?

#MoveAccount #Move

Thinking about moving your Mastodon account to a different instance?

Here's an overview:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

You can export your Follows, Lists, You block, You mute, Domain blocks, and Bookmarks from https://aus.social/settings/export.

When you do a Move, it makes everyone unfollow your current account and follow your new account. Mastodon does this for you automatically, so you don't need to export a list of your Followers and import them again.

You can export an archive of your toots with the "Request your archive" feature. It fetches your posts and media in ActivityPub format. But, as yet it appears there's no way to import your content again.

To import your Follows, Lists, You block, You mute, Domain blocks, and Bookmarks, use the Import page at https://aus.social/settings/import.
