Gregory's Server@cultdev @mike @mmasnick There is no particular technical reason why list of my friends could not move with me when I move accounts in the #Fediverse. It just needs to be recognized as a desirable feature, a protocol needs to be defined (wouldn't be surprised if it existed already) and then somebody needs to do the hard work convincing "everybody" who implements #ActivityPub that this is something they should add to their software.

 @J12t @cultdev @mike sorry, but you very much can move an account from one server to another and keep your followers. It's very smooth and easy in Mastodon! https://w3c.github.io/activitypub/data-portability-report.html  @evan Is this community report basically a reverse engineering of what Mastodon does? (I don't actually know what mastodon does) |
@J12t @cultdev @mike @mmasnick This *should* be as simple as making your Followers/Following collections visible to the new instance. All of the primitives are there, but there’s no standardized ways to use them.
It’ll probably take one app just doing it (and documenting it) to establish a standard that others can follow.
