📣
Whatever it takes to bring followers over to my new @GottaLaff@mstdn.social account, I've failed.
So, please spread the word to my usual friends to follow me there if somehow I messed up that part of the move.
I'm having a tough time getting it right. Sorry.📢

I want to welcome Laffy to Stux's servers!
I'm one of those who moved to newly created masto.ai to reduce load on mstdn.social when it had technical trouble. That was long ago.
The migration process is slow but it happens. One will keep on seeing new followers showing up that are actually old followers being migrated.

Anyway, things get sorted out eventually. Life is not meant to be simple. 😀

Now that I think of it.. I have a feeling this is gonna be possible when the Masto team finds a way to transfer posts also since bookmarks go under that i believe

in reply to Laffy • • •I got your follow and followed back.
It has been so long since I've moved instances, I won't speculate on how it is supposed to work, but I will say that if you have the same number of people that you follow on each instance, then those people know (or will know) that you've moved and will shortly follow back!

in reply to AlgoCompSynth by znmeb 🇺🇦 • • •You have to do them in this order:
1. Export the old account. This takes some time.
2. Create the new account.
3. Set up the alias.
"Profile moves can only be initiated when your two accounts have been aliased."
4. Migrate the account. This also takes some time.

You can also export Followers from the old account, and import them to the new account.
Some didn’t fire in my case, but I think most that wanted to follow continued to do so.
Per @FediTips
“How long does it take for all my followers to transfer over?
Most people on your follower list should transfer over in a few hours, but for some of your followers it may take days or weeks to automatically follow your new account. There’s nothing you can do to speed this up, because it depends on how busy their server is and how many tasks it has to do before it gets to your follower’s update. Busier servers may have longer processing queues and take longer to handle follower transfers.

Of course, you have both counts not in your favour, both with the number of followers, and the size of the instance. I’d say not to panic yet… 🤗
EDIT: Followers now showing as 33k+ they seem to have found you 👍

Then go follow her new account @GottaLaff@mstdn.social
Her server move may have left you behind. She did her best as she always does. Now do something nice for her and follow her on her new account. It’s easier than you think.

But I figured it out eventually. I'm just slow like that sometimes!
Others will get it too, it will just take time.

I'm thinking of moving to another server because the 500-character limit is too restrictive. When I was starting out with Mastodon, I considered joining @fosstodon because I'm a developer, but at the time they had an English-only rule, which I think is unfair.

I will reconsider that server, if they allow more than 500 characters per post.

Yeah, it can be very slow, it can take literally a week for some followers to follow you.
It's slow because it's not just your server doing it, the other server has to handle it.
If it doesn't work the first time though, you can try again and again until it does work. There's more info about doing it again further down the page in the guide.

But I'm having a helluva time filling in my lists. That's how I read people! I don't use anything but my lists.
And bridging my bsky account has become inexplicably impossible

You have 32k followers on your new account at mstdn, only 3.2k on the old account at mastodon. Seems weird, but that's what my version of your profile page says.

Mine updated already, but it's a process of hours to weeks, depending on the number of followers to update and the load on the servers recieving the updates.
