@phiofx Lack of know-how? Lack of a use case?

Or alternatively, it actually does exist. I get fiber to the home through a community organization joining together almost 1000 households (so low thousands people or so) in the area; but of course much of the actual management of that is outsourced. Not computing, but definitely networking.

I think your one in 100 is overly optimistic, and frankly it takes somewhat more than "basic Linux administration" to run something for serious use by others.

@nick@norden.social @libreoffice @nick@hhmx.de It also doesn't say anything about the degree of change I can expect as a user. If I upgrade from, say, 7.1 to 9.3, I know I can expect some fairly large changes. If I upgrade from 23.11 to 24.1 in a date-based versioning scheme? No idea. Maybe 23.11 was a maintenance release only fixing a security issue in 22.7, and 24.1 is a new major release?

Date-based version numbers might work for collections of software. For a single product, though, it quickly becomes confusing.

@feditips Something like that; what saved me was that I had an earlier (not completely up to date, but recent enough to serve as a starting point) saved list of the hashtags I was following, which I was able to import. I didn't find any specialized import feature for that so I ended up using "toot tags_follow" for each tag. Either way, it should be copied before starting the account migration process.

Ironically, I even list hashtags myself in https://michael.kjorling.se/blog/2023/back-up-your-mastodon/.

@feditips When I was logged in to the old account, trying to access the list of followed *hashtags* (hamburger menu -> "followed hashtags"), it showed up as empty. That instance is on Mastodon v4.2.1.

When I tried using the "toot" CLI tool (which I had set up previously) to list my followed tags, I got an error back to the effect of that my account was deactivated. (Reasonable, in a sense.)

Account follows and followers seem to have transferred mostly successfully. A few are still pending.
