@bich Hiya fellow expatriate from med-mastodon. I tried my hand at migrating to the FediMedi GoToSocial that @wild1145 and co. set up. I has been a bit of a bumpy road but it seems that I have managed to get things settled down.
First thing though, I got the account in FediMedi open. Set up what they call an "alias" with the handle @ med-mastodon format. Then in the med-mastodon I set up the migrate. Hahaha same thing, I entered the new handle and that handle's pwd, of course it kept giving me red until I read more carefully and entered the med-mastodon's handle password. Follows and Followers seem to have transferred correctly (although I did have to manually upload the CSV file with the accounts I follow).
Have not managed to get the bookmarks uploaded. I'm going to need help from @wild1145
Next up is the fact that the GoToSocial does not have a web interface of its own. I tried one of the suggestions in the FediMedi page and all I got was a terrible headache. @wild1145 mentioned in a post in med-mastodon that they have Elk in the other instances they manage. Tried the interface and I like it very much. Reset hashtags and lists.
Downloaded the profile from med-mastodon, will try my luck at uploading it, but probably until the weekend.
Oh, on a showy turn of events...we get 2000 char in this instance...wow

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