Mastodon friends, I just realised my old profile on mastodon.scot is still up there. I switched instances years ago. Maybe I did it wrong or thought I had to keep both. I don’t remember! Is it easy to deleted the original? I don’t want people following that one instead of this account-and it seems the .scot one is very search engine optimised. Advice please! 🙏🏻 #mastodon #ChangingInstances #MastodonAdvice

Question: Feditips indicates it's probably not the best move to just stay on mastodon.social forever, but I'm a little leery of moving, since I'm semi-technical, but unsure if I'm technical enough to successfully shift without having to start all over again. Have any of my semi-technical associates made the move without issues? Also, any recommendations on good servers?

Always limited by what servers are available. And it's like shopping at a store on the moon where there is protective outerwear for toddlers and large men, and you need to go outside. Chose my first enormous spacesuit and nothing happened when I tried to buy it. Twice. So I went back to the general instances and picked another. #changingInstances

How does one go about changing instances without losing follows, followers, and content? #migration #changingservers #changinginstances

Since #smusi is folding, I started my own #pleroma server at https://altaica.cloud. A mastodon front end is available at https://altaica.cloud/web. I'm @flavigula and you folk I follow will soon be followed by that instance's Flavigula. Feel free to follow me back. :)
