If you've been following Laffy (and if you aren't then you should) she has switched instance/server and you'll probably need to re-follow.

@GottaLaff

@mvario @GottaLaff There’s a thing at @FediTips about completing your instance move, you need to go back and do a little jiggling to instruct the old account to export (or your new account to import) all the old followers. Took me an extra day-ish to finish but everyone came along. #moveInstance #AskFedi #movingservers

@wendinoakland @stux tried to walk me through it, but the followers part? It wouldnt' take my password, so I couldn't do that.
@mvario @FediTips

@GottaLaff @stux @mvario @FediTips Give it a rest for a bit, then go back to it - it might even involve redoing the whole password thing. It’s kinda bullshit, but set your focus & power through. :flying_hearts: :azarigani_dancing:

@wendinoakland You're right. I'll attack it tomorrow. Thanks! @stux @mvario @FediTips

@GottaLaff @wendinoakland @stux @mvario @FediTips Unless I was hallucinating, the literal founder of Mastodon, Eugen Rochko, turned up personally in your mentions to offer you help with migrating.

He does that a lot, btw, which is one reason we can be sure he truly cares about users.

@ApostateEnglishman He’s been wonderful with me, helped me through many issues. I’ll have to find that and thank him! @wendinoakland @stux @mvario @FediTips

@mvario

It appears to have worked from my pov.

@GottaLaff

@tarheel @mvario @GottaLaff me too. I didn’t do anything, and yet I follow her at the new location and I no longer follow her at the old location.

@GottaLaff @mvario Maybe it takes a while. I checked and am still following. Thanks for info - I wouldn’t want to lose her.
