@obrerx no personal experience yet but I think it can be relatively painless! You would sign up for an account at the new server, go to the account settings and go through the steps for “moving from another account”. On the old server, you’d do the same but “moving to another account”. That will transfer your followers but not your posts, so that’s probably the biggest downside. Think you can export a list of folks you follow and have to manually re-follow them.
