Move mastodon server.
https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/
- Create New account: grantpetersen@mastodon.nz
- login to both old and new accounts. (used different icons to make this obvious)
- on NEW account: switch off email notifications for new followers
- on OLD account:Preferences/Import And Export/Data Export. click on each CSV or JSON icon one at a time. Download them all to a local folder.
- on NEW account: Preferences/Account/Moving From A Different Account. click on Create An Account Alias and follow instructions. (When it asks you to write your old account’s handle, it needs to include the @ at the start as well as the @ in the middle.)
- wait at least 5 minutes.
- on OLD account: Preferences/Public Profile/change the Display Name to say (YOUR OLD ACCOUNT NAME HERE) has moved. and replace the Bio text with a simple message telling people you have moved and giving your new account’s account address,
- on OLD account: Preferences/Account/Move To A Different Account at the bottom of the screen, then click on Configure It Here
- on OLD account: Leave it there as a pointer to your new account.
- Mastodon tags: (manually xfer)
All seems to work.
And try to verify my account....Mastodon
