With my old #friendica host shutting down I've decided to try my hand at self-hosting an instance over on my "My Social Portal" domain (like my Matrix server). So this is my new account for the time being (maybe forever who knows). I'd say follow the blue checkmark but that doesn't always propagate. My old @Hank G account though will disappear when that server shutsdown in a 2 weeks

I am already following this new account through no action on my part which tells me the move went at least partially good!

I wish you showed up in my contacts already 😀. Did you have to initiate a friend request or did that happen automagically?

Happened automagically! Which tells me this could be abused by a spammer. 🤔

@Hank G ☑️ @Hypolite Petovan @Hank G ☑️ Yeah, this showed up automagically for me too. In Tusky I see it's mentioning both your old and new accounts.

@JB Carroll Ironically I had to manually add you just now. I need to see if there is more in depth documentation about what the end user should be expecting from the migration experience as it unfolds etc.

Unfortunately this is an area we have been neglecting as we rarely have to move nodes ourselves. As a result the testing costs are pretty high and we usually take the path of least resistance in our work.
