#
[timothy_chambe] [manton]'s POSSE from Microdotblog to Mastodon is how I do almost all my posts there.
#
[timothy_chambe] ↩️ Yes, they do.
#
[timothy_chambe] How to migrate from one Mastodon server to another without losing followers or follows:
#
[timothy_chambe] 1. Sign up on new server
#
[timothy_chambe] 2. On NEW server: Go to Account -> Moving FROM another account
#
[timothy_chambe] 3. Enter old account's handle
#
[timothy_chambe] 4. On OLD server: Go to Account -> Moving TO another account
#
[timothy_chambe] 5. Enter new account's handle and submit
#
[timothy_chambe] BTW here is Eugen I think obliquely reacting to mastodon.technology's shutting down.

Loqi [Eugen] When a traditional social media site shuts down (G+, app.net) your entire social graph is scattered to the wind - to other proprietary systems that don't interoperate. When a Mastodon server shuts down, you just import your follows list into a new ac...

Loqi [indienews] New post: "Micropub for Bridgy Publish" https://snarfed.org/2022-10-07_micropub-for-bridgy-publish

[Jamie_Tanna] Who runs IndieWeb on huffduffer? For the last couple of days https://changelog.com/podcast/456 has shown as being published today, so it's always at the top of my feed
#
[Jamie_Tanna] TL;DR no one, I'd forgotten that I'm using https://huffduffer.com/tags/indieweb and therefore multiple people can tag as such, so it's appeared twice for me
#
KartikPrabhu doesn't adactio run huffduffer?

[manton] Re: that large Mastodon server shutting down, this is another reason why domain names are better for identity. Mastodon lets you move your followers, but not your posts, and everyone has to remember a new username. Not great.
#
[manton] Related, going to be rolling out some improved ActivityPub support in Micro.blog next week. Feel like I should be doing more with that, especially as Twitter’s future is so uncertain.
#
barnaby nice! getting bridgyfed set up with my site is still on my to-do list
#
[manton] Cool. I’ve enjoyed getting the occasional replies from Mastodon to my blog posts… I wish everything was Webmention, but ActivityPub seems here to stay, so more sites should probably support both.
#
barnaby heh yeah I’m happy to use activitypub provided I don’t have to implement it myself
#
Loqi friendly reminder [manton], barnaby, I don't mean to be a bother, but ActivityPub, implement seems like a better conversation for #indieweb-dev
