Hello Mastodon users, I'm working on migrating to a new instance since Med-Mastodon is shutting down.

@bich Unfortunately I been having the same problem. I used the feditips article mentioned step by step. I also tried resetting my password.

Hello Mastodon users, I'm working on migrating to a new instance since Med-Mastodon is shutting down.
When I go to Account > Account Settings > Move to a Different Account, I enter my new Mastodon handle (with an "@" in front of it) and old account password, I'm getting error messages in the new handle and the password fields.
I've tried resetting my password. I've tried a few times. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. I need to go to bed, but hope to receive ideas.
@bich if you haven’t found a resolution when you read this let me know.

@bich Did you try it without the @ at the front of the account name on the old account settings?

@bich random guess: maybe two factor authentication is the problem?

@bich maybe try this manual.

@bich I had the same problem and in the end I discovered that the user name is case sensitive for the migration

@bich Not really clear for me too. Not being an expert . But did you export all data from your old instance first ? Starting with a complete new instance , not connected in any way with the old, and importing the data should do it ?

@CuriousMagpie @huskify @bich Maybe @wild1145 and @mwadmin could check if med-mastodon has any server blocks that might be in the way.
apobangpo.space has no blocks in place.

@gunchleoc @CuriousMagpie @huskify @bich @mwadmin I've just checked on the med-mastodon end. Can see we federate with apobangpo.space and there aren't any blocks there, can see a number of accounts from the instance and other stats. The same for mastodon.world both seem to be federating without issue.
I've seen a few folks already migrate off med-mastodon without issue and I can't see anything obvious on our end that would prevent someone moving at the moment...

@wild1145 @gunchleoc @CuriousMagpie @huskify @bich If I remember correctly, you should enter your new account without the ‘@‘ in front of it?
There are no limits on med-mastodon from .world
-
@bich Did you try it without the @ at the front of the account name on the old account settings?
@pixelcats I tried and got an error message in both fields.
-
@bich random guess: maybe two factor authentication is the problem?
@lostgen Good thought, but I was able to log into both accounts using 2FA without difficulty.

@masek Hmm...no, not it.
-
@bich Sometimes it helps to remove and re-add the alias for the old account on the new instance, then start the migration again.
@gerardkieffer Tried! No effect.

@hanktank61 I did that first. That's why a bunch of people I follow received notifications I was following from my new handle.
Importing who I follow and my lists are more important to me. It seems like migrating to new account would transport followers.

@mwadmin @wild1145 @gunchleoc @CuriousMagpie @huskify
I tried that, but still got the same error messages.

@bich Sorry, no other idea...
