*sends best energy*

@j @stux awwww

@stux A part of me is excited for you. Having a popular server must be exciting. At the same time, it must be so draining, and I hope you can catch up to the load soon!

Mr.Menon Nov 8, 2022

@stux Thank you!!. Its no easy task that you're undertaking.

Hi @stux, do you manage all of this work by yourself or you have your team working to maintain all the instances?

Emke Mol Nov 8, 2022

@stux thank you so much! 🙏

@stux thank you for all your hard work, especially these last few days. I've just hopped over to your new instance so that might save a few CPU cycles on mstdn.social.

More importantly, are you taking care of yourself? Please make sure you take breaks from the admin work to keep yourself healthy and get enough sleep

@stux dumb question: if you migrate instances (look at me with this lingo!) is there an easy way to rebuild who you are following? Thanks for all you're doing!

@1loafofmeat @stux it automatically does

@potd @stux thank you. Does it just take some time? I migrated yesterday and kept my followers buti had nobody on my "following" list so I refollowed a bunch manually...

Pictureoftheday

@1loafofmeat @stux following does not come along

@potd @stux so if you are following a lot of accounts you have to re-follow them all individually? Seems like more effort than I anticipated (but this new server seems much faster!!)

Matthieu Oostveen Nov 8, 2022

@1loafofmeat @potd @stux Nopes.. just export the CSV of who you followed and then re-import on your new account. 5 minute job and you' re back in action.

@moostveen @potd @stux aha thank you! But on my app (mastodon for Android) I'm only seeing "export" as an option but not import... (sorry to be so thick)

Matthieu Oostveen Nov 8, 2022

@1loafofmeat @potd @stux maybe that's only available in the webclient, I do a lot on my laptop.

You should be able to see it then if you open up masto.ai on a browser on your phone.

It defaults to export, but you can choose import from the hamburger menu on the top left.

@moostveen @potd @stux ok I'll try. Thank you so much for your help!

@moostveen @potd @stux I think it worked! I should have asked for help yesterday... Thanks again!

Matthieu Oostveen Nov 8, 2022

@1loafofmeat @potd @stux Great! It may take a bit of time before all people you followed are back, but if it's accepted the file and said it'll add the people you should be good.

Glad I could help out a bit and enjoy your new account 😉

@1loafofmeat @stux only followers come automatically

@1loafofmeat @stux If you transfer your account using the Move feature, your followers will be migrated:

Take your information and do what you want with it.

@jsoref @stux thanks--i was more worried about having to re-follow everyone I follow but some helpful folks walked me through that as well.

Igor Brejc 🇺🇦 🌻Nov 8, 2022

@stux how much does it cost you to run?

stux⚡️Nov 8, 2022

@breki74 All instances together uh.. It's going to €800 a month now

Igor Brejc 🇺🇦 🌻Nov 8, 2022

@stux WOW! Are you managing to cover the costs through donations or your own pocket?
