@antonio106@ottawa.place If it's people that you follow, you can export those as a CSV and then import them with the "Merge" option, so it doesn't overwrite everything.
If it's people that follow you, I believe (though will double-check) that it will merge into the current account (i.e. not erase the set of people that follow you). More details here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/#move
Posts can't be moved between instances right now, unfortunately, so there's not much you can do there. Though, you can download them under the export page so you have a copy of them, and then view it with a variety of archive viewers. I haven't tried any of them, but one I've seen mentioned before is https://purr.neocities.org/about/
(the export page is under Preferences -> Import and Export in the sidebar)

@andrew@ottawa.place thanks Andrew! Whether I actually bother remains to be seen but I appreciate you. I just put a redirect to here on my bio. It was good enough for my now dormant Twitter account, lol.
