Mastodon.social has no advantages at all over any other server.

@FediTips Thanks, I think I found that further down your move tips page, but I was a bit surprised by this stumbling block !
While I could do A->[C]->B I suspect it will be easier just to find an instance C that I like and do A->C ... and there are some accounts on mastodon.social that I follow and wouldn't be able to see on B ...

@Frieke72 @Stomata @support

Yes, Mastodon.nl is an instance (also known as a server).

Sharkey is a very different kind of platform, it's got a very different interface. I'd recommend beginners starting on Mastodon as it's a bit easier and currently better supported, as you can move to a Sharkey server later if you want to.

@MichelPatrice

I use the managed hosting service @mastohost

They do all the techy stuff so they would know the specs. I assume I'm on some kind of shared server with other instances.

@FediTips @mastohost

Thank you!

@FediTips @LappenjammerDieZweite Has nothing to do with what I said. Aside from being wrong.

@Kye

If it's not decentralised then there's no meaningful migration.

@FediTips I'm not interested in your weird anti-Bluesky tangent. Demonstrate you read and understood literally anything I actually said or go away.

@Kye

Um... you're the one replying to my thread?

Kind of weird to reply to someone and tell them to go away?

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services A mention of Bluesky exists but my comment isn't _about_ Bluesky. If you bothered you read instead of go off on a weird ideological rant based on a single word you would know that. _You_ made it about Bluesky.

Now buzz off.

edit: I just realized I had your main blocked for recommending mastodon dot art. Time to expand that.

@Kye

You can't reply to someone else's thread and tell them to buzz off, it makes no sense?
