Soooooo...I changed my instance to lingo.lol and I still have my followers, but I lost the people I follow...and all my toots #StartAgain?
@maitxinha Yup! But you can export your followers and then import them into your new account!
@grvsmth Ahhhhhhh...Thanks so much!!! I found the export/import option!! I felt so bad!!
@maitxinha I actually used the opportunity to go through my follow list and be a bit more selective. My goal is to have a Home feed that's low-enough in volume that I can read every toot in it!
@maitxinha Yes, unfortunately, this is what happens. But if you mostly just follow people back, it should be possible to just go to your followers list and follow different people. Also, if you tag posts with hashtags (how mastodon really kind of works), it allows people following the hashtag/topic to see you and re-follow. #hashtags
@cdicanio I found the option to export and import, so I got all my followed people back!!
