Crap, I just moved Mastodon instances yesterday

MysticKetchup@lemmy.world on 15 Dec 2023 17:58 collapse

Can I ask how the transition was? Did it keep everything about your account intact?

BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com on 15 Dec 2023 20:08 collapse

It’s not the first time I migrated instances, it’s a fairly manual process: you have to export and import your followings, blocked accounts, instances and words. Toots are not migrated to the new account, but your followers will automatically follow your new account.

Is it a mastodon fork? Doesn’t look like standard mastodon but they don’t mention anything

commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 15 Dec 2023 19:05 next collapse

oh very interesting point. since masto is agpl3 they must be contributing the code back somewhere…

ilinamorato@lemmy.world on 15 Dec 2023 19:36 collapse

I’ve been on it for a few months now. It’s basically just Mastodon with the Elk skin, but using Mozilla Accounts for authentication. I think there are a couple more bells and whistles added as well. But overall, I think it’s just a starting point from which they’ll develop something more custom.

Looks like I just got one too, might try moving my ohai.social profile to it, though I don't use it much anymore now that microblog support improved on kbin

The site looks dope NGL.

noodlejetski@lemm.ee on 15 Dec 2023 19:42 next collapse

thank you for not lying to us, we all appreciate it.

ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world on 15 Dec 2023 19:45 collapse

🥲

Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi on 15 Dec 2023 23:20 collapse

The frontend is basically Elk which I’m trying on my microblog/Mastodon account. It’s really nice and I don’t blame Mozilla for replacing the standard Mastodon frontend with it.

ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world on 16 Dec 2023 19:48 collapse

Absolutely.

Do these frontends replace all aspects of the main site? Like, do they connect to and replace every single functionality a site might offer?

Flaky@iusearchlinux.fyi on 16 Dec 2023 20:05 collapse

Pretty much, yeah.

CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work on 15 Dec 2023 20:11 next collapse

Anyone got an invitation code they feel like sharing with me?

commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 15 Dec 2023 20:12 collapse

invite codes aren’t implemented yet (i just checked) but i got in through the waitlist. try that?

Okay cool.

alexdeathway@programming.dev on 16 Dec 2023 00:15 next collapse

Is it federated with other mastodon instances?

commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 16 Dec 2023 00:48 collapse

yes

onlinepersona@programming.dev on 16 Dec 2023 10:25 next collapse

It’s just another instance

commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 16 Dec 2023 13:35 next collapse

… with a badass domain, new username availability, and multiple services available through the SSO.

I was thinking hopefully this one won’t be extremely political but my hopes died when I noticed the name of Op.
