Debating about wether I should migrate to a different instance or not. I still do like my current instance of course but I've noticed with posting on here that it's not gaining nearly as much traction as I'd like & I think it's both due to how popular it's become as well as my general absence in months. Unfortunate considering I kinda want to get back into posting stuff again. So does anyone have any good suggestions? #Mastodon #Fediverse #Advice #Help #Instances #InstanceMigration #migration

Transferring some of my old posts from mastodon.lol over to this instance, so I don't lose them forever.

I'm going to be switching over to this instance soon, so please bear with me.

Thanks for your patience for those of you seeing a whole bunch of my posts on your Home feed.

How convenient that mastodon.lol announces that it's shutting down right when I move to a more local instance.

My other account is at @Eurae_ventuz.

#InstanceMigration

I've figured some things out in terms of my instance needs if people can recommend instances that fit:

-mid-sized (at least a few thousand? ideally a few tens of thousands? I want decent local feed reach)
-ideally a larger char limit higher than 500
-art/music/games focused
-NOT ENGLISH ONLY because I post in Japanese sometimes (mstdn.games is EN only and that fucking sucks)
-more than just the admin moderating
-works on mobile

#FindAServer #InstanceMigration

Maybe if I throw in some tags people will help. Here #instance #InstanceMigration #nerdy #gamer #inclusive #blahblahblah

So I guess I have to look for a new instance. At the moment, I'm looking at

tech.lgbt
mstdn.games
mastodon.art

Does anyone know what the character limits are on these? (and maybe how they compare in users?)

#InstanceMigration

Whelp need to find a new instance as this one will be no more in a few months. Where's good these days? Looking for a chill place that's cool with trans disabled queer lefties, decent about social justice. Ideally one that's built up reasonable moderation and handled fedidrama and survived for a hot minute, as this is the second time my primary instance has imploded. #mastodon #InstanceMigration #InstanceSwitch #findaninstance

Anyone on queer.party want to slip me an invite? I swear I'm friendly and don't bite. Not even if you ask me to. Not my sandbox. #InstanceMigration

So apparently .lol is closing up shop in 3 months.

Anyone on an instance that is open/has invites, and doesn't mind having a #queer #transmasc Guitar Hero nerd around? Would prefer a longer character count but it's not necessary!

n00b Question Time:

I'm looking at my recently-migrated-to InfoSec.Exchange profile, and I feel like I'm missing something. I have successfully transferred most components of my profile, such as Bookmarks, Followers, etc.

But what I don't know how to transfer over are my Lists, where I had organized those I Follow into various interest-based categories.

Is there a way to manage this, without manually recategorizing and recreating all of my lists from scratch? I tried to the right thing when migrating: I downloaded a .csv of my lists from my old instance, but when I upload it in the Import interface of my new instance, my Lists here remain empty.

I have tried this a small handful of times now, and allowed time, days and days, in fact, in case it just needed to process; There was a message that appeared, saying that the information would be processed in due time, or something to that effect.

Hello zirk.us. Now the process of migrating from my old instannce begins. #MastodonMigration #InstanceMigration #Instance

My short month on eldritch.cafe has been a formative experience in my time on the Fediverse! The community is friendly and very pleasant to interact with.

Now that I have a decent understanding of how everything works here, I've decided to migrate over to another instance. I will be redirecting this account to kolektiva.social once I get the chance to.

✌️

What a nightmare it must be to move instances if you have 10k+ followers? I can't imagine. This process needs to be streamlined better. I hope this is in the cards for the future. #instancemigration

For anyone who is planning to move accounts to a new instance, I encourage you to read this first. This is very detailed and covers about all (thanks to @emilio for pointing me to it). https://blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2022-11-03_what-i-know-about-mastodon/#how-do-i-move-my-account-to-a-new-server #mastodonmigration #InstanceMigration

bonjour après avoir fait une #twittermigration j’ai fait une #instancemigration et ça va mieux

I’ve decide to make the move to @writing.exchange, the local timeline there is more of a fit for me.

Please give me a follow over @danielmrose@writing.exchange, I’ll be using Mastodon’s migration tool and from what I understand it takes a bit of time for everything to move.

#InstanceMigration

Okay, the instance I want to move to has upgraded to allow migration, so I think I'm doing that today. I'll lose my posts so far, right? But it's early days, so this is the best time. #instancemigration

Success! #InstanceMigration

#TwitterMigration

Hello. Yes. I'm proud of myself. You have NO IDEA how dumb I am sometimes.
