Devops update for mastodon.social: One read-replica machine became unstable a few days prior, I had its drives replaced a few hours ago but just as I was re-installing it, it displayed symptoms of the same issue, so now working with tech support to try and figure out what's wrong.

I've added another machine to serve web requests and this seems to have decreased load times into normal levels again.

How to migrate from one Mastodon server to another without losing followers:

1. Sign up on new server
2. On NEW server: Go to Account -> Moving FROM another account
3. Enter old account's handle
4. On OLD server: Go to Account -> Moving TO another account
5. Enter new account's handle and submit

@Gargron stupid question but where do you define a handle?

Hi Eugen

Is there a solution to migrate even if the old account already isn't accessable any longer?

In my case: bear.community was suspended for being over limits. Users haven't been informed ahead of the suspension. I was told that all data will be deleted in 10days if there's no solution with the community admin.

Not being warned that this could happen and not being able to save followers and data really doesn't feel good. It doesn't feels mastodon-like.

Thanks for any hint.

@Gargron Last night I made the request and I still cannot enter, I don't know if I have done the process badly or I have to wait longer :blobsweats:

@Gargron ¿Para cuando le tocara el turno a Quey.org? 🤔 :haha: Es raro porque no salimos listados ni en servers en inglés ni en español ¿qué somos? (Es verdad que está montado en Paises Bajos, pero el publico no es exclusivo de allí) 🤔

So the cool part about Mastodon, right? You don't need to be on the same domain as other people to talk to them. You can sign-up on or invite your friends to:

mastodon.madrid

mastodon.cat

mastodon.eus

And many others, and still be able to talk to the world / follow your friends on mastodon.social and vice versa.

Please help those servers grow by spreading the word about them! (And if you are interested in starting a new server, you can do that too!)

Hi @Gargron
Why is the background black when you join Mastodon?
I think it would be better white, because at first, people do not know how to change colour.
What do you thin?

Welcome to Mastodon, and mastodon.social specifically! Please be mindful of the code of conduct you agreed to when you signed up.

If for whatever reason you disagree with the rules on mastodon.social, Mastodon offers you a selection of 2,000+ other servers and the ability to start your own.

Cheers!

Has anyone here used Shop & Ship before? I've ordered something through it and instantly felt like I made a huge mistake, but couldn't cancel my order.

@Gargron I've not used them myself, but a few others at my work place have, and all of them were complaints of delays and missing shipments :/

Kind of disappointing that there's no point to me saying who my artists of the decade were because everyone already knows what I'm going to say anyway

@Gargron if there’s one thing i’ve learned from following you, it’s that you are a huge beyonce fan.

@Gargron - HeavyDevy do we need anyone else? While I love where he is I miss the days of SYL. Either case all of it is genius!
