• Your followers will automatically be transferred to your new account.
• Your posts will NOT be transferred (they remain on your old server).
• You can redirect your old account to point to your new one.
• The process is reversible, but you will need to wait 30 days between migrations.

1. Visit Apobangpo.Space in your web browser.
2. Click “Create account” and fill out the registration form.
3. Check your email for a confirmation link and verify your account.

Pro tip: It’s a great idea to use the same display name and profile picture initially so your followers recognize you on your new server.

Before migrating, you’ll want to back up your data:

1. Log into your old Mastodon account.
2. Go to Preferences (gear icon) → Import and export.
3. Click Data export.

Download the following CSV files:

• Follows (people you follow)
• Lists (if you use lists)
• Blocks (accounts you’ve blocked)
• Mutes (accounts you’ve muted)
• Bookmarks (if desired)

1. Log into your new account on Apobangpo.Space.
2. Go to Preferences → Account → Account settings.
3. Scroll down to Moving from a different account.
4. Click create an account alias.
5. Enter your old account handle in the format: @us******@********er.com.
6. Click Create alias.

Still in your new account, go to Preferences → Import and export → Import.

For each file you downloaded:

1. Select the import type (Follows, Lists, Blocks, etc).
2. Choose Merge (to add to existing data) or Overwrite (to replace).
3. Select the corresponding CSV file.
4. Click Upload.

Note: Importing follows may take time if you follow many accounts.

Now for the actual migration:

1. Log into your old Mastodon account.
2. Go to Preferences → Account → Account settings.
3. Scroll down to Move to a different account.
4. Read the warnings carefully.
5. Enter your new account handle: @yo**********@*******po.space.
6. Enter your old account password to confirm.
7. Click Move followers.

What Happens Next

• Your followers will automatically see that you’ve moved and will be prompted to follow your new account.
• Your old profile will display a notice that you’ve moved, with a link to your new account.
• Your old account will be locked (you can’t post from it anymore).
• People viewing your old profile will see the redirect.

Even though the migration happens automatically, it’s good practice to:

• Make a post from your new account announcing the move.
• Consider using hashtags like #Introduction to let people know.
• Ask people to boost your announcement to spread the word.

• “I can’t create an alias” – Make sure you’re entering your old account handle correctly, including the @ symbols and server name.
• “My followers haven’t transferred” – The migration can take several hours if you have many followers. Be patient.
• “Some people didn’t follow my new account” – Some servers may have federation issues, or some people may need to manually follow you. That’s normal.
• “Can I migrate again?” – Yes, but you must wait at least 30 days between account migrations.

• Your old posts and media
• Your favorites/likes
• Your notifications
• Your DMs (keep the old account accessible if you
• need to reference these)
