@Gargron Thank you - as I get a better idea of the different servers out there, this may be useful.

@Gargron but why do I need to migrate to another server, why can't I just follow all like on TT.
Why these servers can't be in one claster.
This is all sh..t here

@Gargron I recorded a video with the screenshots I took to migrate to the new drupal.community

Maybe it's useful to someone else.

@Gargron noob question is there any technical reason I would want to? Like too many on one server?

@Gargron It really matters in which server are you host? At what point is that limiting?

@Gargron Hi !!! Do you know if it's possible to read, if you have more than one server, the messages from that server loging just in one?

@Gargron I'm moving out from your server soon (to my personal own), but I thankyou for being a good spot to land on!
I'll still be supporting yours, tho.

@Gargron
tio ne funkciis bone por mi :( bedaŭrinde mi perdis kelkajn sekvantojn kaj ĉiujn miajn sekvadojn...

@Gargron @ionica I moved last Friday and it went very well. One last tip: have a little patience while things are moving, it is not instant (it took 30-60 minutes, but it may depend on how overloaded the servers are).

@Gargron It is not so much that I fear losing followers but losing people I follow: can I take those with me too to another server?

@Gargron You should doanlowd who you follow first as this will not migrate. You'll need to follow again manually form the new account.
