How to migrate from one server to another

With the sad news that KNZK was shutting down we thought it might be useful for people to have a refresher on the features that Mastodon has built in that make moving instances easy and painless. Backing up Your Data Data export If you are moving to a new instance the first thing you will want to do is to get a backup of all of your data. Thankfully this process is painless with the Data Export tab under the “Import and Export” page. Here you can download your followers list, your muted users list and your blocked users list.

Home Taping Is Killing Music: When the Music Industry Waged War on the Cassette Tape During the 1980s, and Punk Bands Fought Back

The first time I saw the infamous Skullcassette-and-Bones logo was on holiday in the UK and purchased the very un-punky Chariots of Fire soundtrack. It was on the inner sleeve. “Home Taping Is Killing Music” it proclaimed. It was? I asked myself. “And it’s illegal” a subhead added.

It’s honestly amazing how, as I’ve aged, I’ve gone from pirating out of necessity/rebellion to trying to not pirate unless I absolutely had to, to thinking it’s the only ethical answer. :/

Did you know #trunksapp lets you quickly add **any** server as to be an additional source for your explore tab?

You can quickly see what's happening across your favorite communities, or see what's trending as merger across all of them!

See the video about adding journa.host to quickly see what is happening in news!

It's great for dipping your toes into trends that you missed out on with #twitter.

@krynd42 ok, maybe it's better than I thought. Haven't used it in a while, so I wasn't aware that it renders QRTs similar to how they're shown on #Twitter.

Now, if it could be moved out of the three dot/elipses menu, that'd be great...

Also, don't be afraid to test out third-party apps if you're on a mobile device. #Trunks has a built-in Quote Toot option (which I'm using now).

It isn't perfect, but far better than manually copying a link to the post and pasting it into a new post.

seeing some new faces here! welcome. here are the ground rules: - there are none. there is no “using it wrong”. - use content warnings however you want (or not at all) - ignore tone policing. it can get a bit much, so… - …if someone gives you the ick, block ‘em. our time is short and valuable — there’s no point in spending some of it letting some dude hound you in replies for not calling Twitter “the bird site”. that guy sucks. enjoy your stay besties ☺️✌️✨

Looks like Mastodon's active user base has increased by 110K over the last day. Not bad.
