So, I've been thinking about switching instances. I started on mastodon.social because I didn't really know anything else, but mastodon.gamedev.place seems to be where everyone I interact with is at.
Is switching instances pretty painless? Will I notice any material differences if I switch?

@mtthgn@mastodon.social back when I did it a few years ago it all went smoothly. I would certainly recommend getting off mastodon.social, you're missing out on a big part of the fedi experience by being on the big flagship instance as opposed to something more close-knit.

@mtthgn@mastodon.social From what I understand you still can't take your posts with you, but maybe most of the other things do come across. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/ https://erinkissane.com/notes-from-a-mastodon-migration
