To migrate to a new #Mastodon #instance:
1. Find a new server.
You can either use this great #tool by @TheKinrar to help you choose:
https://instances.social
Or the official tool (with a limited selection):
https://joinmastodon.org/servers
2. Create a profile on the new #server
3. Next, redirect both #profiles to each other:
.../settings/migration (Move.../Moving...)
4. You can optionally choose to export & import your data: .../settings/export
@madeindex I needed to do this after a node I was connected to imploded. The implementation of this tool is what will keep me active here. Gives me easy access to hop from instance to instance.
@mrgrumpymonkey One of the great things about
@madeindex Thanks for the follow as well. I'm not sure why anyone would want to read my nonsense, but I appreciate it.
@mrgrumpymonkey haha only here for Goobie and Tali of course
Original nonsense is the best & rare these days
@madeindex That does seem to get me those random followers & retoots & favorites.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People fascinate me sometimes.
