How to migrate from one Mastodon server to another without losing followers:
1. Sign up on new server
2. On NEW server: Go to Account -> Moving FROM another account
3. Enter old account's handle
4. On OLD server: Go to Account -> Moving TO another account
5. Enter new account's handle and submit
@Gargron do we migrate ours toots, too?
@Gargron so we will post all we wrote here?
@Nynaeve The old account won't disappear (although you can delete it if you want)
@alexbarra @Nynaeve They're separate accounts
@Gargron like in animal crossing

@Gargron cucha, @Juanmi_News , aquí hay algo que puede interesar, algo de luz a este potaje 😂😂😂
@Gargron oh what the fuck
@Gargron remember to log out of new server between 3 and 4, I didn't stumped me for hours
❄️
Note that this does NOT migrate posts! Which I would argue are more important than followers - you can do followers manually. Posts, you're out of luck.
@IceWolf Would be awesome to be able to migrate old posts, too.
@IceWolf
Try #hubzilla
It's another software connected to the #Fediverse and you can migrate between instances without losing anything.
@bob You know, I've heard of Hubzilla, but I'm not entirely sure what it is. Didn't know it's connected to the fediverse, that's cool!
@Gargron will you creating an mobile app also ??
@kidddefense We have multiple mobile apps, check out the "Mobile apps" link in the footer
@Gargron ok let me see thanks
@Gargron As addition for people trying this: Sometimes, the old server happens to have old data fetched. This means, it doesn't have the newest account data of the new account. This might result in the error that the new account doesn't properly refer back to the old one.
In this case, do a simple search for your user URL(!) (e.g. https://chaos.social/@esureL) to update the data and then try again. :)
@hothobbit Glad I could help. :-)
@Gargron It's only possible to move from another account which is on Mastodon 3.0.1 😢
@Gargron how to connect to other instances from one?
@Gargron Logged on to my mastodon.social account on a web browser.
Went to Account Settings -> Account Migration -> Move to a different Account
@Gargron Damn! Hit Toot! Too soon!
Ok, logged into my mastodon.social account
Went to Account Settings -> Account Migration -> Move to a different account.
Entered Handle of the new Account
Entered the Password if the Current (mastodon.social) account
Tells me my mastodon.scot Account is not back referencing this account.
@Gargron of cause this only works when both servers are on mastodon 3+ and all the followers are too, unfortunately there are still a lot on earlier versions
@Gargron Can we connect accounts through servers?
@alexbarra You're on mastodon.technology and talking to me on mastodon.social.
@Gargron xD yeah, but I mean, with my @alexbarra account could I create an account on @mastodon.technology ?? Because I just created anothere one here... xd
@alexbarra @alexbarra @mastodon.technology You can use the same e-mail address to sign up across different servers. The e-mail address is private and not shared between servers in any way.
@Gargron okey, what I thought then, thanks you very much!! <3
Server run by the main developers of the project 
It is not focused on any particular niche interest - everyone is welcome as long as you follow our code of conduct!
@Gargron the migration worker still has several show-stopping bugs in the last release
