@stephanlivera @verretor People who followed you before you moved are still following you?

@verretor @verretor yes the migration tool brought my same followers over

@stephanlivera @verretor Which instance were you on before?

@verretor @verretor mastodon.social iirc

@stephanlivera @verretor I will need someone to help me with that. I don't want to lock myself out of my account and lose all my followers again.

@verretor @verretor IIRC you had to set up the new account on the new side, then go back to the old instance and do that migration setting to 'push' it over to the new one. I think basically the old instance redirects all your followers to follow you at the new instance etc.

@stephanlivera @verretor Are you 100% sure you kept your followers when you migrated?

@verretor @verretor yes it worked for me when I moved over from mastodon.social to bitcoinhackers the 2nd time we all tried the mastodon thing (not the 1st time). So whenever that was, like a year ago or whenever?
