Is there a tool that would tell me if I'm going to lose any followers/follows when migrating to another server? In other words, basically something that would check if the destination server doesn't defederate any of their servers.

@mgorny Well, there's servers but there's also stuff like account deactivation so I guess the tool would have to do a rather expansive scan.

@mgorny There's a redirect in place on the old server for a while. I think the followers will update to your new location, but I'm not certain.

@xgqt, isn't it? If someone wants to read what I write, it would not be very nice to silently cut them off because of server change.

Siina!
@mgorny @xgqt followers also include people you follow and talk to so it can be quite a concern to migrate to another server. Goodness knows I've lost contact with some really great people due to these sorts of things over the years.
