Rats!
I didn't realize that when I changed servers followERs would be moved to qoto.org but followEEs are not migrated.
(& no, I didn't download an archive. I don't care about previous toots. And I misunderstood the statement that I could "re-activate your old account and download your data"; I don't see how to do that.)
So I shall have to start from (almost) scratch.
Anyhow, Movetodon will help find some from the old site:
https://www.movetodon.org/
And one final update:
Trying again I was able to import a csv list of followees from my previous server.
It just required several tries.
