Hi! So I have moved my account to our new home at heads.social/ - you are welcome to join us there if you're looking for a home server focused on music and counterculture interests.

Heads.social is run by members of the Jerrybase.com admin team but is not formally associated with that project.

It looks like the migration step brought my followers over (hi!) but not my follows (yet) so I will have to redo all of that, which I will do shortly.

Mastodon hosted on heads.socialHeadsWe're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice.

You can start a new account at a new server and then either just keep your old one, or "migrate" it and join it to the new one. A guide is linked below. It works, but do NOT try to do this stoned unless you're used to computering while high:

@mrcompletely ok so total here.. can you join more than one server and see all timelines in one feed?

@velvetseawader I'm not sure yet how to see more than one "local" feed tho I hear it's possible. You can def have more than one account, and switch back and forth. But you can also just follow people on a different server from yours, as I follow many shakedown users

So there's no strong reason to have accounts on both - they are "federated" servers - your follows will appear in Home, other shakedowners will appear in Local, it all works

@mrcompletely ahhh ok this makes sense!! I'm here for the shakedown/heads crossover lol but I'll stick w one acct for now 🤣🤣

@velvetseawader yeah right in no sense is it competitive between servers! This way the user load is spread out more evenly, everyone can see everyone etc, it's a win/win deal

@mrcompletely I love that and it won't bog down the servers then. Federated tab is picking up other users as well that I'm interested in, so that's cool too
