I'm considering setting up my own Mastodon instance (it would be solo, just for me) as my instance https://fandom.garden is blocking other instances.

I totally get their reason for blocking them, they just want to protect their users, but as a fan account I want as much reach as possible and I have followers from https://hachyderm.io who will soon not be able to see my posts.

I'm not sure what other people think here? @gardener

Fandom Garden

Fandom Garden is a queer instance where you are free to gush about the content you like, whether it's books, comics, TV shows, movies or music. This is an LGBT+, anti-racist, anti-ableist space.

Mastodon hosted on fandom.garden
OK, I've got the perfect domain name, it's happening - I'm going to move instance soon. Hopefully all my followers will come across 😄
@tardis getting your followers moved over is easy. Refollowing everyone is annoying, though.
@hauntedhideaway thanks for the reminder - I exported my following list and am importing it there, should make things easier!
