Mastodon problems

Everyone who has problems with Mastodon, this post is for you!


First!

Go to MastodonSettingsAccount → And at the very bottom of the page, you have two options:


:exclamation:For example I use my Mastodon instance: mastodon.social - replace it with your!


  1. Move to a different account
    If you wish to redirect this (Mastodon) account to a different one, you can configure it here. → https://mastodon.social/settings/migration
  2. Moving from a different account
    To move from another account (for example from: Micro Blog) to this one (Mastodon), first you need to create an account alias. → https://mastodon.social/settings/aliases

Yesterday, using this second one URL :point_up: I have move:

  • from LUXURY_FORMAT@micro.blog
  • to LUXURY_FORMAT@mastodon.social.

You can do the same to reverse it by using the first URL: https://mastodon.social/settings/migration to migrate from Mastodon back to Micro Blog instance.


Here is how I do it:

  1. Open: https://mastodon.social/settings/migration

  2. Insert my Micro Blog fediverse creator name like this: LUXURY_FORMAT@micro.blog - Make sure it’s without @ at the start of the line!

  3. Then come back to Micro Blog page: https://micro.blog/account/mastodon

  4. Click on button: Migrate Away...

  5. Then insert your Mastodon name like this: LUXURY_FORMAT@mastodon.social - also without @ at the start!

  • Done! :white_check_mark: That’s it, hope it’s will help someone!

Remember:

  1. If you wanna migrate from Micro Blog instance to Mastodon instance, first: you need to change your settings at the end of Account page on Mastodon, and only then make changes on Micro Blog!
  2. If you wanna migrate from Mastodon instance back to Micro Blog instance, first: you need to change your settings on Micro Blog (create your account on Micro Blog instance), and only then make changes on Mastodon!

Have a good day!
