if you're upgrading a fairly standard native install of #mastodon from 3.5.3 to 4, you will more than likely run into the same issues as i did. this is on a vanilla #debian machine. my upgrade steps that will hopefully save you a headache #mastodonupgrade #mastodon3.5.3 #mastodon4 (1 of 3):

Thanks to the new features of #Mastodon3 I've finally properly moved all the followers from my previous mastodon.social account #onhere.

I wasn't too sure if that would conflict with the followers I already have on this one. But it all ran smoothly.

It's probably mostly dormant accounts. But maybe not all of them. If you find yourself following me again and wondered how did that happen, come say 👋 in the comments.

We are now on #Mastodon3! Enjoy the new features and let me know if you run into any bugs or issues.
I'm actually going to to move forward with the upgrade to #Mastodon3 today. The process looks pretty straightforward and doesn't look too intrusive.
I'm going to do a little research and see if I can upgrade sangha.social to #mastodon3. I'll definitely give everyone a good heads up before I proceed.

Just experienced the new "follower transfer" feature of #Mastodon3, from the follower point of view, and it's awesome.

I did not have to do anything and then just saw a message in my timeline that said "hey, this is my new account, etc." from someone I like to follow.

A game changer for the #fediverse.

One thing that person noted though is that it does not automatically transfer the list of accounts one follows. Any reason for that?

Uuiiii I just spotted the new feature to combine several hashtags into one column. This shrinks my wide view when using the Web like a lot. Love it! 😻 #mastodon3
What are your predictions for #Mastodon3?
