   Really have the urge to move my instance to a different domain.

   But moving accounts means I will lose all the people who don't maintain their follow requests anymore 😭

     @stanford the correct workflow would be:
     1. create a new instance on a new domain
     2. register yourself with a new account
     3. use the built in moving account function to transfer followers

     @Jain Sure, that moves the people who follow me.

     But the people I follow don't get moved.
     I can export the list from my old instance and import it to the new one. But technically, this is just a new follow request from the new account.

     And I follow some people who need like a year or so to accept new follow requests :nkosadpien:
