Thanks. I just found out my instance is shutting down in May, so I’ll have to find a new one soon.

Do you want an invite to Mastodon.online? It’s an official server like Mastodon.social, but is invite only.

I appreciate the offer, but I feel I should tell you that I’m not a very active community member on Mastadon. It’s mostly just doomscrolling and the occasional boost for me. I won’t be offended if you want to use your invites to recruit more active members.

No worries, there’s an unlimited number of invites! I sent you an invite over DM.

This sounds nice and all, but it’s 2025 and it still can’t migrate posts.

How could it though ? Posts on server A might not be allowed on server B ?

I’ve always assumed post migration would never be a thing becase of that.

It could be conditioned to revision. If you want to have your posts moved, they would be checked over by the moderation at server B.

But the fact that not even that is an option in the first place means this is a nonstarter for anyone who is interested in keeping the history of their presence.
