How do I notify followers/subscribers to a PeerTube channel? (lemmy.ml)

I created a video channel on a PeerTube server, but its service quality is poor, so I have migrated everything to another server. The first server' channel is still open, but I have a migration notice on the channel's home page.

The problem is that I have 8 followers on the old server whom I would like to notify directly. How can I do that using my PeerTube handle?

I tried to follow my PeerTube account from my Mastodon account, but it shows "Pending" in Mastodon. When I go to my PeerTube account, I don't see any place for messages, requests, etc.

Any documention or suggestions for me to look at? Thanks.

Make a video telling people you've moved

Thanks, sounds like a good idea. I created a single PNG with the announcement and then tried to convert that to a webm using 3 various suggestions I found online, all involving ffmpeg. All failed. Any suggestions?

I don't understand. Why not do whatever you normally do to edit and post videos?

I post videos that are already created elsewhere, so I haven't created one except for ones I've taken with a phone camera.

Yeah, I also think this is the safest way. PeerTube doesn't have direct messages like PieFed, Lemmy or Mastodon have.
