Your favourite booster<p>Anyone with experience for account / instance migration in pixelfed?</p><p>I migrated my account from pixelfed.ch to pixelfed.social, everything checked out well, but now after 2 days still have lost all (20) followers (on both instances), and my follows (50) are still on the old instance... Posts also have not migrated (although I did not even expect that would work)...</p><p>(already dropped a mail and a dm to their support, still waiting for response)</p><p><a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pixelfed</span></a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/migration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>migration</span></a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/feditips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>feditips</span></a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/instancemigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instancemigration</span></a></p>
cm-t (arudy)<p>Woupsyy<br>I just received an email, a friendly reminder that i had 8months to migrate my account to a new instance, and now i have only 1month left. Because why do something when you could it it later, i guess...</p><p>Bon je vais revenir sur mon thread où j'avais demandé des suggestions d'instance et m'y atteler dans la semaine.</p><p>Je ne sais pas comment ça se passe pour les comptes qui demandent validation avant de les suivre, dans le cas d'une migration, ça va leur demander cet effort ? (déso d'avance, je crois que je suis pas mal de monde dans ce cas)</p><p><a href="https://octodon.social/tags/octodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>octodon</span></a> <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/instanceMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instanceMigration</span></a></p>
Jack C.<p>Dang, the <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pixelfed</span></a> instance I joined recently is shutting down at the end of next month. I was seemingly able to migrate my account to another instance, but that doesn't actually copy over any of my posts or anything. I haven't posted much but it'll be a hassle to manually re-make those posts... </p><p><a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/pixtagramdotsocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pixtagramdotsocial</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/InstanceMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InstanceMigration</span></a></p>
Zenit (they/them)<p>I am seeing spam replies from mastodon.social daily, and I'm sick and tired of reporting bots. Can anyone please recommend me an instance that has blocked mastodon.social? Bonus points if the server is located in Europe. I'm also fine if the main language of the server is German/Spanish/Italian.<br>Boost for visibility are appreciated </p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/instanceblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instanceblock</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/instanceMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instanceMigration</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/askFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>askFedi</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/mastodon_social" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon_social</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MastodonSocialAlternatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonSocialAlternatives</span></a></p>

Nick Ferguson<p>Moving server has lost me over 200 followers, I think I must have deleted my old instance to quickly while the followers were still moving possibly, not a problem just an observation. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>server</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/instance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instance</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/InstanceMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InstanceMigration</span></a></p>

☾𝔞𝔯𝔪 🥀<p>After taking a sabbatical, I returned to find witches.live inaccessible. Apparently, it's been down for about as long I've been gone, with no notice to its members, and no sign that it'll ever re-awaken. Lucky for me, I had little presence there. But for regulars, losing the ability to transfer their accounts must be devastating. </p><p>I'm here now... wearier of niche servers. </p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/witcheslive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>witcheslive</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/instance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>instance</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/InstanceMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InstanceMigration</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a></p>
Z3r0 ~ :t_blink:<p>Día 4:</p><p>Las primeras impresiones de GoToSocial como servicio de microbloging para ActivityPub han sido buenas. O al menos tan buenas como cabía esperarse dado lo que indica la documentación oficial.</p><p>Dado que la idea es usar esta instancia para darme servicio a mi mismo he optado por usar la instalación más sencilla posible.</p><p>Nada más arrancar, la carga de CPU rondaba 0.1, y ahora que estoy federado con 1751 instancias ronda el 0.5. Nada mal.</p><p>Como GtS no tiene una GUI completa tengo que usar <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/tusky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tusky</span></a> en <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> y <a href="https://pinafore.social" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pinafore</a> cuando estoy en mi equipo si quiero poder hacer un uso normal de mi instancia, aunque hay más alternativas. Ya intentaré alojar un Pinafore cuando tenga un rato.</p><p>Crear el mirror de mi antiguo usuario desde mi instancia original hacia el actual en esta otra fue un procedimiento sencillo. Recibí las solicitudes de mis antiguos contactos automáticamente y empecé a ver como iba federando con más instancias.</p><p>Por otro lado, el proceso de añadir mis antiguos contactos aquí fue bastante manual. Tuve que exportar el CSV desde mi antigua instancia y añadirlos a mano uno por uno. Que sí, que ya se que lo más <em>geek</em> hubiera sido picarme un script con la CLI de <em>GtS</em>, pero no tengo tantos contactos y no me sale a cuenta el ponerme a mirar documentación y hacer pruebas. Además, esto no es algo que me plantee hacer todos los días.</p><p>Una vez migrado mi usuario lo primero que noté es que, a parte de lo que iban tooteando mis contactos, no veía mucho movimiento en mi timeline federada. Esto se debe a que aquí estoy yo solo y, tal y como funciona la federación en GoToSocial (no sé si también es así en Mastodon), es necesario que tus contactos hagan boost de otros toots para que tú puedas verlos en tu TL federada. Además, GoToSocial no soporta el uso de relays todavía.</p><p>Por suerte, me topé con una solución parcial al problema en <a href="https://mookiesplace.com/@mookie/statuses/01HW9SAX66HRJCJ3X966PFFWKR" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">este</a> toot. Usando el <em>relay</em> de <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/fedibuzz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediBuzz</span></a> puedo añadir tags como si fueran usuarios.</p><p>Por ejemplo, si quiero seguir la etiqueta <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/starwars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StarWars</span></a>, no tengo más que seguir al <em>usuario</em> que la representa en el relay:</p><p><a href="https://relay.fedi.buzz/tag/starwars" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@StarWars</a></p><p>También descubrí que se pueden añadir instancias concretas siguiendo, de nuevo, su <em>usuario</em> en el relay. Ejemplo:</p><p><a href="https://relay.fedi.buzz/instance/frikiverse.zone" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@frikiverse.zone</a></p><p>Esto hace que los tags y el contenido publicado en otras instancias aparezcan como boosts en mi home y como toots en mi TL federada. ¡MAGIA! Acabo de aumentar la cantidad de instancias con las que la mía está federando y recibo el contenido que deseaba. O puede que demasiado de él.</p><p>¡Horror! Hora mi <em>home</em> estaba experimentando un movimiento excesivo y se me estaba haciendo bastante incómodo el poder leer su contenido. Pues bien, la solución para esto es tan sencilla como acceder al perfil <em>usuario</em> que añadí usando el relay de <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/fedibuzz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FediBuzz</span></a> y silenciar sus boosts en mi home. Ahora solo los veo como toots en mi TL federada.</p><p>Ahora mismo recibiendo contenido de <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a>, <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/pleroma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pleroma</span></a>, <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/akkoma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Akkoma</span></a>, <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/firefish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FireFish</span></a> y otros sucedaneos de <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/misskey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misskey</span></a> desde aquí.</p><p>¡Listo! Ya tenemos nuestra instancia de <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> instalada, funcionando y correctamente federada.</p><p>Si no te montas una es porque no quieres 😜</p><p><a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a> <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/relay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Relay</span></a> <a href="https://maverick-hq.org/tags/instancemigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InstanceMigration</span></a></p>
Cratesmith<p><span>So... I'm wanting to move instances back to mastodon.gamedev.place<br>However, when I try to create an alias from there back to this account I get the error "could not be found".<br><br>I'm guessing this is some issue with the fork of calckey my current instance uses? <br><br>I'm a bit concerned that this issue will force me semi-start over.<br>What are my options? Are there any workarounds? <br><br></span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/askfedi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askfedi</a><span> </span><a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/instancemigration" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#instancemigration</a></p>
aristeon89<p>Hey friends, I was asked by my instance to move because they wanted to refocus on their own region and didn't like US-related news. </p><p>And so I lost over 5k posts and conversations. I also need to refollow everyone ... </p><p>Please contact me if I haven't followed you. Because I don't think I can do it quickly. It's a lot of work to go through my whole list ... </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/InstanceMigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InstanceMigration</span></a></p>
