Peter-Paul Koch in Elk: "Trying to migrate to @front-end.soc..."

Trying to migrate to @front-end.social but it's not going well ... unless I'm too impatient.

Only 6 of my 78 follows were moved even though the CSV contains all of them, and how (or whether) my followers are going to move is a complete mystery to me.

Hmmm ... it seems front-end.social imported all my follows except those on mastodon.social and toot.cafe ... dunno why.

Oh wait, about 20 following came through in the past hour. It just takes a long time, apparently. I'll wait, and finalise the move to front-end.social tomorrow.

I’m glad you’re testing this out before me!

I still see your account with 78 followers including myself

That's because I didn't kill this account yet.

I see. But when you move, it would transfer without anything changing for followers, right?

Dunno. I thought so, but now I have my doubts.

Replying to someone

yeah same here. It took some time (a day).

Replying to someone

Are they defederated instances?

I thought followers get automatically updated with your new location? Also, I didn't know about that server - thanks for mentioning it
