So, can I follow someone on a different Mastodon instance? Or do I have to make accounts everywhere people I think are cool go?
@sjml You'll probably be wanting to make multiple accounts, but you can export your account from this instance and import it into another—it's a feature hidden in settings
@jennatar @sjml what would multiple accounts be for? except maybe having a second account on any other instance you'd call home, so that mastodon.social could have a bit less strain on its server?

@timotimo @sjml oh, I don't know. That is, I, uh, made a separate account for awoo.space, and also, if one instance "goes down" it's great to have a backup account I guess?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@sjml @timotimo I guess that's kind of what you already said though
