FWIW migrating from Mastodon migrates all your followers automatically and you can interact with them just as you did on Mastodon.

You do need to manually recreate your list of people you follow though, from what I could tell.

Once that's done you haven't really lost anything unless you were or were intended to be heavily active with the feed on your local mastodon instance. (Vs federation etc)

ok but how about you tell me why to move from mastodon to firefish?

I like the UI better (by a lot), I like the "antennas" feature, I like that I can do a traditional blog post if I choose ("pages" they call it), it's very custom-configurable, and in the 3 days since I've joined I've already seen bugfixes and improvements deployed.

Why move? If Mastodon is 100% great for you and nothing about the look/feel/functionality of Firefish jumps out at you then there is really no reason.

It is a real breath of fresh air though in terms of features and great UI!

I want to be able to do more than just upvote this lol. I was so pleasantly surprised. In minutes I was sure I wanted to migrate my Mastodon account.

On purpose.

Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.

I truly thought it was just tone deafness and overconfidence on the part of Musk for a good potion of this. But the last few events, along with various comments he has made along the way, have me concluding that this must be true.

what an amateurish logo, looks like what a tiny business puts up on their wordpress when they have no designers & are only making a logo

To me it looks legitimately confusingly like the xorg logo, which ironically you usually see on a Linux system only when the config to display the correct logo for something is missing or invalid.

They are called TWEETS, ELON! TWEETS!

Elon Musk: For now...

Least destructive decision he's made since acquiring it.

Feels like just yesterday in some ways. But how the world has changed since then. Really sad about this.

Before you all fall for the shamless clickbait,

I used to start and end my day at Ars Technica. For years.

Has really never been the same since Conde Nast took over. I usually only end up there now when someone links an article from there. Thanks for saving me a click, and I'll pour one out for what once was...

I'm more than a year into using a Trilium instance at home and another at work for taking notes and keeping track of various information.

I love it love it love it, maybe especially at work, but I am certain I use only a tiny fraction of its capabilities.
