I only initiated it yesterday. But 12 hours later not a single follower had transferred.
There is an issue with neurodifferent.me at the moment. Posts from other instances are getting in, but no posts are getting out. So I doubt if my followers' instances received the transfer requests.
My main question, though, is this:
I now have some followers on this account, some who have re-followed me, plus a few new ones. Assuming that the problems with neurodifferent.me are resolved (at least temporarily) and I attempt the migration again after 30 days, what happens?
From my understanding of your notes on migration, each follower account receives an automated request to stop following me on neurodifferent.me and instead to follow me on c.im. Presumably that doesn't affect new follows on this account, as they are not part of that. But what happens to followers who have already re-followed this account? They will get a request to stop following me on neurodifferent.me and to follow me here. But if they are already following me here, does that cause any issues?
Well, the bad news is that my migration from neurodifferent.me to this account didn't work at all. Still no word from or about @squish and the server still isn't sending anything to the outside world (which is probably why the migration didn't work). Unfortunately that means that even with the people who have now followed this account, I've lost over two-thirds of my followers.
I'm not too obsessed with followers. I only had 120-odd and most of my interactions come from the various autistic hashtags and groups. Still, it is annoying.
The good news is that I've logged in to the old neurodifferent.me account and removed the "redirect" which effectively undoes the migration and restores that account to normal. I still have all of my followers there. After 30 days (if connectivity has been restored at that stage), I can attempt the migration again.
I'm not sure, though, if doing that merges with, or overwrites, my existing followers and follows lists on here. Anyone know the answer to that? I'll mention @Gargron in case he can give me the definitive answer.
