OK, I'm here now. It seems to have gone smoothly. But looking to get used to any minor differences in the interface.
@the5thColumnist Don't get too used to it - we are likely migrating off of hometown as development seems to have stalled on it.

@human3500 @the5thColumnist aha, so "here" refers to ottawa.place from another server, not Mastodon in General from another platform.

Does that server have a character limit longer than the default 500? That would be the clincher for me to make the switch from my current one.

@Centretowner @human3500

I was on mstdn.ca with a 500 character limit which I like but I will try to discipline myself not to be too verbose her or if I want to be to ewrite a blog post and link to it.
