Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 14:52:18 And that's the .social -> .ie move kicked off. Many thanks to @FediTips without whose guide (https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/) this would all have been a lot more painful. |
|
Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 14:55:40 @shezza_t @FediTips is it simple enough for me to do? I kinda wanna just give @OpinionatedGeek my log in and ask him to do it for me. |
|
Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 14:59:23 @intheseheels It's a little clunky, but the step-by-step guide made it easy for me to do myself. The only thing I needed @OpinionatedGeek 's help with was switching off the notification bongs I was getting. I'm on a new browser too today, and thought I'd turned all sounds off. I hadn't and the bongs were driving me nuts. |

Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 16:51:54 @intheseheels @shezza_t @FediTips I'd be happy to, but @shezza_t is the expert! |
|
Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 21:17:58 @OpinionatedGeek @intheseheels @shezza_t @FediTips I went through this a few months ago. Found it really straightforward. |
|
Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 21:18:57 @OpinionatedGeek @intheseheels @shezza_t @FediTips I think you effectovely lose all your old posts though. Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 14.10.2024 00:23:55 @seanddotmedotuk I won’t be deleting my old Fediverse account, so I’m guessing they won’t be totally lost. But I am a wee bit sad at the loss of coherence in my Fediverse presence. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 14.10.2024 14:20:28 @shezza_t My old account is gone. Can't remember if I explicitly deleted it, though I suspect not. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 14.10.2024 14:23:01 @seanddotmedotuk All those toots will be lost in time, like tears in rain. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 14.10.2024 15:31:42 @seanddotmedotuk @OpinionatedGeek @intheseheels @shezza_t As long as you don't delete the old account, your old posts will remain in existence and will redirect people to your new account. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 14.10.2024 16:22:27 @FediTips @OpinionatedGeek @intheseheels @shezza_t I wonder if a server can do a purge of accounts that have been inactive for a certain period of time. Would reduce resource usage. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 14.10.2024 20:53:56 It can get complicated to purge posts if an account has participated in threads with other people. However, they can easily do a purge of their media cache. That's why you sometimes see a blurred image instead of the original picture on old posts. |
|
Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 19:45:05 @intheseheels @FediTips @OpinionatedGeek there are more steps than there should be, imho, but like @shezza_t says: follow the instructions and it’s pretty smooth Just make sure you disable email notifications on your *new* account before you start moving g followers across, or you’ll get a lot of emails |
|
Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 16:45:00 @shezza_t Was there a specific reason you moved? |
|
Föderation EN So 13.10.2024 18:40:53 @ianRobinson A growing feeling .social was being problematic for others, and had a growing chance of being blocked. |
