Everyone who has problems with Mastodon, this post is for you!
First!
Go to Mastodon → Settings → Account → And at the very bottom of the page, you have two options:
For example I use my Mastodon instance:
mastodon.social
- replace it with your!
- 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
- 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 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:
-
Open:
https://mastodon.social/settings/migration
-
Insert my Micro Blog fediverse creator name like this:
LUXURY_FORMAT@micro.blog
- Make sure it’s without@
at the start of the line! -
Then come back to Micro Blog page:
https://micro.blog/account/mastodon
-
Click on button:
Migrate Away...
-
Then insert your Mastodon name like this:
LUXURY_FORMAT@mastodon.social
- also without@
at the start!
- Done!
That’s it, hope it’s will help someone!
Remember:
- 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!
- 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!
