Last time I used Mastodon's migration tool, I lost all my followers. All it did is lock me out of my account.
If someone could help me with that, that'd be nice.
@verretor @pete I think @btcdragonlord moved from Bitcoinhackers to himk yesterday. Maybe ask him, seems like he retained his follow and follower list.
@verretor @pete @btcdragonlord how do I disable the client type from toots? 🤔
@melik @verretor @btcdragonlord Pretty sure I remember there being a setting for that, somewhere in the preferences... Can't seem to find it again.
@melik @verretor @pete @btcdragonlord
I've just gone through this process. First you need to add the old account as an account alias from the new account. Then from the old account follow the option under "Move to a different account"
On both accounts this is all in Preferences > Account, at the bottom of the page
All my followers have been transferred to the new account 👍
@yeolde @melik @verretor @btcdragonlord Yup. These two options I think.
@verretor I think you have to do it on both your old and new accounts. Basically, old forwards to new, and new verifies that the old->new link is correct.
@pete I switched from mastodon.social to bitconhackers.org in 2018. There's a migration tool in the account options. It only linked to my new account on my old account.
