To migrate to a new #Mastodon #instance:

1. Find a new server.

You can either use this great #tool by @TheKinrar to help you choose:
instances.social

Or the official tool (with a limited selection):
joinmastodon.org/servers

2. Create a profile on the new #server

3. Next, redirect both #profiles to each other:
.../settings/migration (Move.../Moving...)

4. You can optionally choose to export & import your data: .../settings/export

#Mastodon is pretty customizable to offer people many choices not usually available to users on other #socialmedia platforms. More choices also means more complexity ;)

Like on other platforms, you can also choose to simply make a new #account on another #server.

A lot depends on your reason for moving :)

@madeindex This is already my second account, after starting from scratch.... I really don't have the inclination to do it all again - sorry.... 😥😥😥
