Notes from a Mastodon migration - This is a must read if you are trying out Mastodon, especially if, like me, the main draw was that it's an open system and you can move server at anytime. I thought it was as easy as packing your virtual bag and venturing over to your new online home. In reality you will lose several things. Replies to your old threads won't reach you, your old posts remain in the old location, DMs received from people can't be exported, and lists you got added to won't point to your new username. That's quite a lot of important stuff! Definitely worth testing the process before you get too comfortable. erinkissane.com #
