Mastodawn

So, I've been thinking about switching instances. I started on mastodon.social because I didn't really know anything else, but mastodon.gamedev.place seems to be where everyone I interact with is at.

Is switching instances pretty painless? Will I notice any material differences if I switch?

@mtthgn From what I understand you still can't take your posts with you, but maybe most of the other things do come across.

@bbbbbr I'm not too worried about posts following me, to be honest. I'm more just curious whether it will "feel" different than being on mastodon.social, or if the all that will be changing is effectively some URLs that I frequent.

@mtthgn Hmm, not sure since I haven't been on mastodon.social. It might depend on how much you use the local feeds. If not much or at all then it might have a similar feel.
