"we created a GNU social instance ourselves and "moved" our account ... This
is pretty easy to accomplish, so I'd like to encourage everyone who has the
means of doing so."
I think it would help a lot (both them and us) if more of the technically
savvy users on Quitter.se did this. Can you describe exactly how you "moved"
your account?
My understanding is that the only way to do this at present (with anything
but Hubzilla) is to just start a new account somewhere else, re-follow all
the people you were following on your old account, post on your old account
that you're abandoning it, and leave a luggage tag on your display name
pointing to your new account. Being able to seamlessly move from host to host
(eg from community-hosting to self-hosting) would be a massive improvement to
the UX of fediverse.
