@bevsxyz Mm, doesn't look like that worked. Though I hope you get it to work. I was contemplating Hugo and Mastodon comments as well.

@lydiaconwell Sometimes there are exceptions.

@lydiaconwell I only follow when it's interesting to read their posts, and moreso when there's a chance I'd actually respond to their posts.

Why the hell would you want to follow otherwise?

@gaurav I just wish people would stop staring at me when I do that.

@imabuddha Yeah. Unfortunately some part of the Fediverse is quite tribalistic like this.

I'm afraid you'll have to discuss with your friend how to tackle this problem. Maybe a 2nd account, maybe one of you or both move. Maybe just accept as is. Whatever the choice will be, I wish you luck with it!

@gpowerf Meh. 'tis alright. ;)

@chamberlainnl 😂 Imagine all those things he's been missing out on if he'd sleep that long! 😅

@chamberlainnl Lol. Oh how deliciously innocent. 😂 Let's keep that up for a while...

@battaglia01 That is correct.

With the only caveat that if those 2 instances block each other (or at least one of the two does), the account can't be moved over straightaway. It might be possible to do it in a roundabout way via other instances, but I think there is a minimum cooldown period for moving around.

Unless your account is very new, then you can just hop over manually as there's not much to transfer.

Might I also point you to one of Qoto's cool features that enables you to follow remote instances and pull most of their local timelines on here? :) It's in our settings under follows and subscriptions, you might enjoy it.

@samyalkenawi Would that be the RAM or the CPU?

@higharchmage It's kinda cool, yeah. Though a shame it can also be tribalistic at times. But we're trying to be better than that. :)

And yeah, I've experienced the BBS-era. Got many a huge phone bill because of it! 😅

@battaglia01 Technically speaking it is the idea that you only have one account and then talk to people over many servers with that one account. :)

There are several reasons why people would have more accounts (different local timelines, different connections), so that's fine. But you can't 'link' them together as they're seperate accounts.

You can let them all follow each other if you want, though it won't do anything special.

@agterrane You mean there are big fires again in California? In December? Is that an usual season to have those big fires at?

@louiscouture Not a problem... mostly because they don't exist in my country, heh.

@Gbudd Totally agree!

@chamberlainnl Poor Finn. Did he buy that explanation? ;)

@peterdrake Very fitting.

Fun bit.. we have a lot of butchers here called Baker (but then in Dutch), and bakers called Butcher (again, it'd be in Dutch). I guess in the past they got married and swapped roles. ;)
