Hi All, it's been a couple of days since I have Mastodon, but I haven't introduced myself. I'm from Tamilnadu, India and I'm and IT professional. My interests are astro physics, food, superbikes, nature and animals. I'm trying out veganism for the past 10 days and I feel good that I'm not hurting any animals. I am having a good time on Mastodon. Hope to engage with more people here #introduction #india
@raining_night Nicely done. 😄
Welcome. Do we call you Raining Night, or maybe RN for short?
I am using the same handle I did on birdsite, but kind of regret not taking advantage of a short nick that can be easily grabbed here.
Might help when people want to post and include you with an @ sign.
@design_RG ah.. hadn't thought about that. Yes, a shorter handle would've been convenient for others while mentioning me. Is there a possibility in Mastodon to change the handle like the birdsite?
Yes you can call me RN 😃
@raining_night Ok, will do, maybe add the RN in your profile where it says Name (mine shows Rob G.).
Regarding changing the user handle, I don't know - and it's a good question. Would be useful if possible.
We could ask the boss, @freemo
🇳🇱
Not really but you can create a new account and migrate. It will forward users to your new account
@freemo @raining_night Thank you, that was quick! 😃
@freemo @design_RG i migrated from mastodon.social to qoto.org and lost all my followers on the process 😬
@raining_night @freemo I am glad you found Qoto and moved here, MS is too large and too general to be interesting, and diffcult to manage properly.
Losing the followers is a pain; there seemed to be some "moved" option you could enable, and it will keep the old profile and all the data still there, but people will need to re-follow I think.
Good work on adding the RN, it will make it easier to refer to you. 
@design_RG
Yes, it is a screenshot from Mastodon.social.
Ok, but still 2 options are missing here - "Move from a different account" and "Delete account"
"Move from a different account" option is important to enable migrants to migrate to Qoto from other instances seamlessly(correct me if I'm wrong)
@raining_night @freemo Yeah, I think that is what's different on version 3 (other than the delete account, not important on this context).
We don't have that "Move From" on Qoto atm.
@raining_night @freemo Is that screenshot from MS site? They are running a newer version of Mastodon there.
We have a Migration page here:
https://qoto.org/settings/migration
Very minimal, just a new username and instance pointer required, no options.
