Followers on the old instance will need to manually re-follow (since the server hosting us shut down before we had a chance to migrate, and we had to start afresh). It would be a tremendous help if you could boost this or tell someone you know about Owls in Towels! Thank you for your continued viewership and engagement 💛🦉
