   If you want, you can move your Mastodon account from one instance (server) to another.

   Moving lets you take your followers, follows and some settings with you.

   1. Create a new account on the instance you want to move to, but DO NOT delete the old account.

   2. Log into your NEW account, go to Edit Profile > Moving From A Different Account, click on "create an account alias" and follow the instructions.

   3. Log into your OLD account, go to Edit Profile > Move To A Different Account, click on "configure it here" and follow the instructions.

   4. On your OLD account, go to Preferences > Import And Export > Data Export and download the settings and follows lists.

   5. On your NEW account, go to Preferences > Import And Export > Import and upload the lists you just downloaded in the previous step.

   After doing all these, your old account will redirect to the new one, and your followers will transfer automatically (with a short delay).

     @feditips Can someone tell me why my @waltercool@pl.slash.cl was suspended from mstdn.social?

     The admin of my instance still have no response from the mstdn.social owner, even without any report to the instance.

     @feditips I seemed to stumbled my way into successfully redirecting my party account to my new one on mstdn social.

     I have one question: if the Party server goes offline, will the redirect links still work? Ie, will I still have the migrated followers, settings, etc?

     @feditips So lets say I have a stalker. Is there a way to migrate without posting a redirect notice?

     @feditips Little tip!

     (badum-tssss ?)

     Use screenshots! Just sm0ll ones but it helps out a lot

     For example: (random) and add these in between the 'steps'
