Not sure i did the transfer perfectly, but at least i can now log in from my desktop which is where i do most of my posting. Which should make it easier to post on here!
@MartinLewis I did offer help with Vivaldi. It works perfectly from the desktop. I am using it now 🤷🏼
@MartinLewis The Vivaldi account also offered help in your replies multiple times.

@ruario @MartinLewis

I've honestly no clue how Martin couldn't access Vivaldi Social via any web-browser. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyway. Glad he's able to engage again.

@MartinLewis yes you are showing up from mastodonapp.uk

@MartinLewis

Its very cool the follow...well follows you!

@MartinLewis Been waiting with great anticipation for your latest news, Martin.
@MartinLewis certainly looks to have transferred right
@MartinLewis since Mastodon servers can have “themes,” maybe you should get one of your technical elves to set up an MSE Mastadon server, for people who want to see what’s on other Mastadon servers, but also contribute to Local community of Money-Saving Mastodonners?
@MartinLewis Glad to see you transferred to the UK instance
@swebb "A" UK instance. Nothing is official. 😆
@ruario 😀 ha yeah that's right, there are plenty others. I'm a little biased being on this one!
@ruario @swebb I hate to tell you this but their domain name routes via a US based content provider... it may not even touch the UK!
@paul @ruario cloudflare?
@swebb @ruario yeah, that's them
at the time of checking the A record was pointing to a server in San Francisco (this could indeed change depending on location... but I am in the UK)
@paul @ruario I'm not sure how caching (if that's the right term) works with cloudflare but I would have thought there'd be something a little closer like LINX
@swebb @ruario oh yeah, absolutely... I guess UK datacentres just aren't good enough 😁😇

it is funny the existence of location based instances though, it's great we have them, but we cant guarantee their legal responsibilities just on their name. I do know of at least 4 UK based ones (although they all seem to use cloudfare as well)
@paul since the company I work for transferred to Outlook 365 from our humble domain server under the stairs we always joke about saying "hi" to a three letter agency across the Atlantic 😄
I think the local timeline makes sense for those location based instances, but in terms of legal responsibilities well I'm not sure how the admins would navigate that!
@MartinLewis Hooray! Welcome friend. Now for some great tips!
@MartinLewis looks good now, same as before, might of just needed to update to remote instances

@MartinLewis

Receiving you loud and clear 👍

@MartinLewis just been reading your guide to DIY Probate- thankyou! Why are there so many out of date govt forms still around, making the whole process seem more confusing than it needs to be!
@MartinLewis I’m still here and so it looks like it’s worked 👍🏼
@MartinLewis
Did you find a help page? I'm trying to move instances too
@MartinLewis Is it easy to do the transfer? Thinking of doing so myself
