@BeAware Thanks. I should have been clearer: I’m the only user on the instance, so that won’t be a problem.

I want to migrate my current Mastodon instance to my own server. The domain will be the same.

What steps do I need to take? Here’s what I’m thinking should work…

Set up the Mastodon instance on my new server.

Export my followers/following lists from the old server.

Import my followers/following lists to the new server.

Change DNS.

Will this work?

@MediaActivist Hi, Jay. In what limited experience I’ve had with the kind of cables you describe, the quality is usually poor. I would recommend something like this:

It provides the same functionality (XLR-to-USB), but also headphone controls and computer/mic mixing. Pyle is a decent entry-level brand, too. (e.g.; a similar device from Shure is 120% more costly)

Hope that helps.

Fonts matter.

Kerning matters.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

When I started on Mastodon, people would advise me to “only Boost posts.” Since there’s no algorithm that places a value on Favorites, “only Boosts have value.”

I disagree completely.

When people Favorite my posts, they unwittingly introduce themselves to me. I have discovered some very interesting people that I may not have if they didn’t Favorite my posts.

Keep ‘em coming. It’s nice to meet you.
