@jeanh it's something we've been asked before! I'd love to dig in to see if this is a service we could offer. You'll need help from the server admins, I believe.
As well as this message, I'll follow up with a DM to see if #CoSocialTechOps could help with this.
By way of #introduction , I’m Mick, and I am old enough to remember when the Internet was made up of small communities built and supported by their members - before the phrases “attention economy” and “surveillance advertising” were a thing.
I have been missing the fun, chaos and collaborative spirit of that early ‘Net, and I think #Mastodon is a way to reclaim the space that was taken from us.
Volunteer member of #CoSocialTechOps hoping to be at least a little bit useful around here.

Hey #CoSocialCa we just had about 40minutes of downtime from backing up the server and doubling its CPU/memory size.
And yes, I used my own account as a test to move over all followers.
Ping #CoSocialTechOps if you see something out of place.
