Shantell PowellUhh, it looks like I will need to change instances on here asap. Mastodon.lol is gonna get canned. Is someone willing to help me do that? I’m a mastodon n00b. Any suggestions for where to move? I post a lot of stuff about #writing, #Indigenous rights, #folklore, #mythology, #nature, etc. #HelpPlz
I’m trying to export my data now but I’m not sure if it’s actually doing anything. There’s no progress bar or anything. It’s been saying “compiling your archive…” for at least a half hour now.
Oh, I see. It was sent to my email.
I’m getting this error when I try to add my new instance to the app. Any ideas why? https://c.im/@Shanmonster

Whovian NineThreeSixNine@Shanmonster Maybe try just c.im ?
@whovian9369 thank you! That worked.
Damon Thomas@Shanmonster I'm had good results with my instance. I could dm an invite link if you like?
@ruralgloom thank you! That sounds good to me. ❤️
Rita Portela (parody)After you choose a new instance: These step by step instructions helped me transition and save a lot of my stuff.

If anyone needs to switch instances, this step by step how-to lets you switch and maintain as much of your info as possible. (Follows, bookmarks, blocks, etc.) Very helpful! I just noticed that all my followed hashtags didn't transfer over, so be sure to follow all those again. https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#TransferringYourMastodonAccountToAnotherServer #MastodonTips #MastodonHowTo #ChangeInstance
mementomaori@Shanmonster indg.club is an Indigenous instance run by the amazing @roag505 wonderful space and very welcoming.
Universal Life MFN@Shanmonster hachyderm.io is a great instance. Scroll WAY down on this page and you'll see steps to do the move: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/
The first step is to open an account on a new server. Once you've done that it's pretty straightforward.
If you run into trouble let me know and maybe I can walk you through it.
Note that your past posts will remain where they were and the account effectively frozen. Your contacts will eventually populate in the new account.
Goblincore Katie@ulmfn @Shanmonster << I've been happy with hachyderm.io too. Respectful folks with a tech bent.
Left Coast Bec@Shanmonster you can go to https://fedi.tips for general help about mastodon, including how to migrate to a new instance.
https://fedi.garden has a list of other instances, broken down by categtory, region, etc., to help you pick a new one.

PublicuniversalI mean come here as a quick escape! I also like thepit.social although that's mostly DC local stuff, and towns.gay (dunno how I wound up on it but it's got some cool artsy ppl)
Erotic Mythology 🌹@Shanmonster There's writing.exchange, thefolklore.cafe and a new mythology.social instance.
