Aight, so notes on migrating to a new Mastodon instance:
I found the ff helpful: https://edtechfactotum.com/migrating-to-a-new-mastodon-home/
I was able to successfully create the alias to the old account on this new account, so the bug mentioned in the above is already fixed.
However, I was unable to create the redirect from the old account ("is not an alias of this account"). Looks like a cache invalidation issue (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/12216), I'll try again in a couple of days I guess
Update: finally got @roytang@mastodon.technology and @roytang@mastodon.social to redirect here. Apparently that results in a bunch of notifs as your followers are automatically forwarded to the new account!
If you enjoyed my content for some reason, I'd love to hear from you! Here are some options:
- You can buy me a coffee!
- Click here to post a comment!
- You can share or reply to this post on Mastodon.
- You can write a reply on your own site and submit the URL as a webmention via the form below.
- Or you can just contact me!

This command run in shell should return json output with your old ID among the values for “alias” but it’s not showing
