Erin M. May, PhDLooking into moving instances now that astrodon.social is up and running.
Looks like I can move my followers, but is it true that I can't move my posts? Will they disappear from this account? I hate to lose all my threads 😩

@_astronoMay they’ll stick around unless you also delete the account
markpanning@violet @_astronoMay But if you don't delete the account, it could confuse people about which account to follow... I still have to work my way around this decentralized fediverse thing...

Usually there's a notification to users that the account has moved servers, on the profile page I believe.

And if you want extra redundancy, make a post set to "followers only" that says where you post now, and pin it. Mastodon moves follows when it detects a move but other sites (Pleroma, Misskey, maybe Pixelated) don't know to do that.
