If u want to migrate from your existing Mastodon server to econtwitter.net server without losing followers then follow these steps:

1. Sign up to econtwitter.net (u can use the same email address as your existing server)
2. In the new account, go to accounts and select "moving from another account".
3. Then enter your old account handle.
4. Now login to your old account, go to accounts, then select "moving to another account".
5. Then enter your new account handle.
6. Submit.

@absidd I had to add steps

7. Export CSV of following in old account (preferences)
8. Import CSV of following in new account (preferences)

It will take a few minutes to show up

@gregorsinger @absidd it can save you from "loosing" any followers due to server overload

@absidd Please note that you can also export (as a .CSV) the list of people you follow from your old server and import it at your new server. Worked great for me!

@djvanness I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing 🙂

@absidd this is a great write-up, so thanks a lot, but I cannot help that this is just another one of these "it's simple, it's actually only six steps", when the issue should actually be "it should be one step, a button called 'Migrate to other server', and that is all"

@ZetaOf1 I totally agree, but sadly, this is the current way of migrating :(
