@Rycaut @xian I'm going to test that now.

@stux you are an amazing host. Thank you a million! My sense is this instance is big and somewhat burdened so I am about to migrate this account to indieweb.social -- see you on the flip side and I will always love mstdn,.social, my first home in the fediverse!

@lio I guess it's some sort of trusted protocol between the two instances? I am going to try it!

@lukasb @xian I keep hearing this but I still don't understand how that would work

Big rumblings in the expansion of the #Fediverse have been happening recently.

#Tumblr has already promised to implement #ActivityPub (the protocol Mastodon uses), which will mean you can follow Tumblr accounts from here and vice versa. And today we a learning that #Flickr is also considering it!

This will be a massive expansion, which obviously carries some uncertainties, but I, for one, welcome our new federation partners.

This is the way the internet is supposed to work.

@enron @xian how do people following you get moved?

I do not understand the process.

@dwenius @xian right but an existing follower of the old account, do they stop seeing your posts until they stumble on your profile, realize you’ve moved, and re-follow you?

@Rycaut @xian thanks but I fully get that followers don’t have to be on the same instance. i follow people now not on my insurance and vice versa.

I am asking how a follower of the old account becomes a follower of the new account.

@lio @xian yes but it can’t be you can just upload any csv and force people to follow you? my understanding is your followers, if they go to your profile, will see that you’ve moved and will have the opportunity to follow your new handle, but maybe i’m missing something.

I will do a test with my new smaller accounts, seeing what happens if I migrate from one to the other….

@yoyobeatty @xian thanks but i extremely know this part and it doesn’t explain how followers of the old account become followers of the new one…
