My Mastodon instance has been under DDoS attack again today and it’s still throwing up errors hours later so apologies if I’m not replying in a timely manner but it’s telling me posts have been deleted (even though they haven’t).

Might be a good time to think about moving over to social.lol soon 🤔 I hear all the cool kids hang out there.

I’ve secured my place on social.lol and now begins the process of moving everyone here to my new home. I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to things like this so need encouragement that I'm not going to break things. I’ve found this document on the process, is this about the best guidance to follow? https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

Ok, enough coffee consumed so I’ll shortly be moving to a new instance. Hoping all goes without a hitch but if I break anything or you don’t hear from me in a while then come find me over at @purplelime, otherwise I’ll (hopefully) see you all there soon 👋

Como migrar para uma nova instância do Mastodon

Migrar a conta para outra instância do Mastodon, levando os seguidores e os seguidos, é um procedimento que você pode fazer pela interface web sem pedir autorização a ninguém - veja como fazer!

@purplelime I moved servers, carefully following the documentation, and it went very smoothly (a couple years ago)

@alexandra I’ve secured my place on social.lol, now comes the tricky bit moving us all from here to there. Hope it won’t be a bumpy ride but I’ll get a couple more coffees into me before I start exploring that 😄

@purplelime Was so glad to arrive at the "coffee shop" this morning and find you parked at a table with us all.

Welcome!

@mihobu my new hangout is all ready to go, just the hopefully uncomplicated task of moving everything and everyone over. But first, coffee!
