📣 I&#39;m moving the FediTips account to another server. The new address to follow is: ➡️ @FediTips@social.growyourown.services I&#39;m just about to start the automatic migration procedure, so it should move your follow over to the new account seamlessly, but if you want to follow the new account manually straight away you can do so (it won&#39;t mess anything up). The new server is my own one, it&#39;s where FediFollows, FediVideo etc are already. If there are any problems, contact my personal account at @FediThing

For people on #Friendica and other platforms not compatible with the account migration procedure, you need to follow @FediTips manually if you were following the previous FediTips account. On mobile it works like this: Long tap the blue @-address in the above sentence, wait for the popup, then click the follow icon. If the popup doesn't appear (often with new accounts), copy the @-address to search on the top of the page, including both @'s, then click Search twice with a few seconds between. You can follow on the profile page that appears, and set any groups you want the account to be in.

p.s. I've started the transfer, it may take many days for all the follows to transfer over to the new account. (This is possibly the largest Fediverse account transfer attempted so far?) If it doesn't transfer your follow automatically just do a manual follow of the new account. And as mentioned already, follow it manually straight away if you prefer!

@feditips Would the mute or block options help? I see them right here in my Mastodon client, so they look pretty easy to use. I've been meaning to look this up, but what is the difference between mute and block anyway? Also, how do I set up filters in the Mastodon clients? Finally, and I'm new to Mastodon, but couldn't you just not follow people who's posting you don't like?

@feditips@mstdn.social @FediTips@social.growyourown.services @FediThing Looks like auto migration worked. I was already following the new account when I went to check. Thanks for all you do!
