   So time to answer the burning question: why did I move from mastodon.social to calckey.social?
   
   First, let's get the obvious out of the way.
   
   I bought the calckey.social domain back in December. You see, I run a local Calckey server called vancity.social, and I noticed people were registering there just to try #Calckey. In the spirit of keeping vancity.social a local server, I felt that I needed a space to kick non-Vancouver residents so they can fool around with the software.
   
   So the idea for calckey.social was born.
   
   A month later, @kainoa asked if he could make it an "official" server for Calckey. It was originally supposed to be the junior server to calckey.cloud. But after awhile, he felt that there should be a place for casual folks to hang-out.
   
   Well, once we got our ducks in a row, calckey.social shot off like fireworks.
   
   We discovered there was lots of demand, and it was all so unpredictable. So now calckey.social is the flagship server, and it's grown by 1,200 accounts over the past 2 weeks.
   
   Naturally, people asked why I'm on mastodon.social and not over here.
   
   At first, it was because I didn't want to be the one to dominate the server. People who know me, realize how loud I can be.
   
   But now that we're coming close to 1,500 accounts on calckey.social, that's no longer a big deal.
   
   However, I still imagine that this account migration may change the very young culture here. Now that the migration is complete, I am the largest account on Calckey by follower count.
   
   Things are about to get more noisy here.
   
   But what a time to build a new community!

     @der_On@calckey.anzui.dev @kainoa@calckey.social Here's where to start first: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/#migration
     
     After you follow those steps, you need to go to Settings > Migration in #Calckey.

     @atomicpoet@calckey.social @kainoa@calckey.social I've recently migrated to calckey but was unable to migrate my followers. Do you have any tips on that? For now I've created a redirect from my mastodon profile to my calckey profile but am not sure if that really switches my followers. I do self host both instances and idealy would like to be able to shut down the mastodon one at some day. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

     @Social@charli.io @kainoa@calckey.social I've always said it was myopic to focus entirely on Mastodon. The future is the Fediverse, not one particular flavour of it.
     
     Mind you, Mastodon is still very important. It validates that a decentralized social network can work on a mass scale.
     
     But I believe we need to be thinking beyond one specific implementation of ActivityPub.

     @atomicpoet @kainoa so you never really believed mastodon was IT either?
