   So it looks like I cocked up when setting my friendica server up using DynDNS, because apparently the service is going away at the end of May. Friendica contains a “migrate node” function, but apparently it basically doesn’t work.
   
   So it looks like I’m going to have to create a new server and then try to migrate my account. I think that it should pull my followers, as a Mastodon migration would, but I have no idea if it’s actually going to work.
   
   Arse.

     @goatsarah That sucks. ? Doesn't help with your migration, but if you're looking for alternatives, I've been using noip and it pretty much works.

     @arroz looked some more about what Oracle are doing, and it seems the domain may keep going. They’re really not at all clear about what they’re actually planning to turn off. They have a whole plethora of similarly named products which presumably makes sense to them, but they forget that most people don’t actually work for them and don’t understand the minutiae of their sales structure.

     @ajlanes that page, however, mentions nothing about Mastodon.

     @goatsarah It looks from https://github.com/friendica/friendica/blob/develop/doc/Move-Account.md like Friendica can do what Mastodon does.

     @goatsarah I’m confused. Why would it?

     @ajlanes Because that’s what most followers will be using and has an account migration facility.

     @goatsarah But your followers don’t need to do anything. Their instances just receive the messages that your new Friendica instance will send saying you’ve moved, and act accordingly.

     @ajlanes Will it? It says it does that for Friendica. It doesn't say it does it for AP in general.
