<2022-01-04T20:02:51.000Z> cosmo: hi neko. you are an admin right? can I ask you some fedi questions that I cant find answers to?
<2022-01-04T20:04:32.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: go for it
<2022-01-04T20:05:37.000Z> cosmo: ok so I dont want to leave Poast but I want to try making my own pleroma instance. Is there a way to "port" my followers so that they automatically also follow my new name @ my instance?
<2022-01-04T20:06:31.000Z> cosmo: so I would have 2 accounts (Poast and on my instance) and they would both have the same followers
<2022-01-04T20:06:55.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: https://poa.st/settings/export
<2022-01-04T20:07:23.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: it'll dump an CSV file which you can import on your instance via pleroma settings
<2022-01-04T20:08:16.000Z> cosmo: Yeah I saw that. Thats just for follows though, not for followers. Thats why I was asking if there is some pleroma feature that would do that
<2022-01-04T20:08:43.000Z> cosmo: its ok if there isnt, I was more curious than anything else
<2022-01-04T20:08:46.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: No that's not really possible unfortunately, everyone will have to follow you again
<2022-01-04T20:09:03.000Z> cosmo: ok cool no problem. thanks!
<2022-01-04T20:09:24.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: if you need help feel free to ask, setting up an instance is the gateway drug
<2022-01-04T20:10:06.000Z> cosmo: ok thanks! Ill let you know. Im gonna do a ton of reading on my own before I try. Id like to make sure I do it right
<2022-01-04T20:10:41.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: Are you gonna use soapbox or just regular pleroma? I personally recommend you use plain old pleroma, soapbox still has some kinks
<2022-01-04T20:12:31.000Z> cosmo: Havent decided tbh. My main concern first is to make sure I get the server security right. Make sure some faggot doesnt hackerooni and dox my frens
<2022-01-04T20:12:57.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: I'm unironically running pleroma as root right now and I've been meaning to fix it for a while, don'
<2022-01-04T20:13:08.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: don't feel embarrassed about that
<2022-01-04T20:13:27.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: im currently trying to hack with my init system and get this fixed, I'm also migrating freewahaextremist.wtf in a bit
<2022-01-04T20:13:54.000Z> cosmo: what do you mean when you say migrate?
<2022-01-04T20:14:34.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: *Well, I'm gonna change freewahaextremist.wtf's domain name to freewahaextremist.com
<2022-01-04T20:15:07.000Z> cosmo: oh ok ok. cant you just re-direct? Or am I just dumb
<2022-01-04T20:15:25.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: technically you could but also no
<2022-01-04T20:15:43.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: and i'd have to resend out all follower requests, the old domain will still show up
<2022-01-04T20:16:01.000Z> cosmo: ok yeah that makes sense
<2022-01-04T20:19:15.000Z> cosmo: thanks for the talk neko! ill let you know if i do end up making one and have questions. good luck with the migration!
<2022-01-04T20:19:30.000Z> neko@cum.desupost.soy: tyty np gl
