If you have a mastodon.social account but have moved over to a different server, you can login to your old account and, under edit profile, setup a profile redirect note.
@Gargron who do i have to contact about lost 2fa (and 2fa recovery) codes btw...
@Tom me?
@Tom Yeah I remember it, done
@Gargron coolio, tyvm!
@Gargron oh neat thanks
@Gargron OOOh! is it one-way or will I be able to revert it in case I decide to come back to this instance?
@p_the_wanderer it's reversible for now
@Gargron Thanks for the tip, I just did so. I can't get my head around to what that actually DOES, though ...
@Gargron So nothing actually happens with my account on mastodon.social anymore? If anyone tries to contact me on .social they just get a message that I moved ?
@Gargron just a note, or can you fully redirect/alias?
@Gargron I'm on my own instance now, but I use mastodon.social as a secondary place :)
I'm not dead yet!
@gargron It also helps to change your display name.
@Gargron
What happened to Mastodon.social?
@RussSharek that's a new feature in 2.1 that our instance is already running
@Gargron
Gotcha. Wording sounded like a rescue option more than a feature. Thank you for clarifying.
Apparently this could be misread as something has happened to mastodon.social, which is not the case. I was merely highlighting a new feature that's useful to those who switch accounts
@Gargron Gargron, go to sleep
@Gargron
Do followers and other data go over to new instance or is it just redirect in case someone clicks on your profile?
@gutigen it's the latter
@Gargron
That was fast, thanks ;)
1.) Does the server you've moved to need to be at the newest codebase as well?
2.) Is this possible to undo?
@Gargron That could be misinterpreted, but only if you're feeling extra pessimistic about the future of Mastodon
@Gargron the "Move to a different account" under the save button looks out of place. There has to be a better place for it.
@Gargron yay
