@tokyo_0
I have an instance that has to change domain name, so I'm going to recommend this to all my users. Thank you for making it!

@maswan That would be wonderful.... will they need to move their data, though, if your instance (with all their data on it) will just go offline at the old domain name at a certain time/day, and reappear online at a new domain name a bit later? It will still have all their data, no?

That would likely be wonky, also I need both online during a grace period for account migrations (followers etc) to work.

@maswan Ah, ok. Well, you know your set-up and plan better than I do, and if the tool helps that's great. I just wouldn't want to let you go ahead and recommend it to everyone on your instance and have them all copying data back and forth if there was an easier (and less resource intensive) approach that would work better for you.

Good luck with your plans. If you need any help with the tool please do let me know. As I said, it is still in development, but quite a few people have used it now.
