Being able to #migrate your #followers to another account on a different #instance is a beautiful feature. Everyone should try it once, if only just for fun!
Yes, you can't take your posts with you. But your old account won't be deleted after #migration (unless you choose to). It will just be marked as superseded. All your posts will keep being accessible, can be found via search, can be linked to etc.
Btw, I migrated from #Fosstodon after some similar bs happened in 2023.
URGENT 
please help my severely #disabled friend evel & xen's family flee the country! the recent US executive orders directly affect them 
. anything helps!

I’m looking for a tool to to #migrate #Instagram follows to #Mastodon or #Pixelfed.
I’ve used similar tools to find and follow old Twitter connections on Masto & Bluesky. But can’t find anything for Insta.
Most of the music community, frustratingly, isn’t budging from Insta. I think being able to recommend something like this could help!
@mastodonmigration more reason to #Migrate to #Mastodon, hey @mastodonmigration ? :D

I started posting in #Mastodon in 2018 but recently I #migrate the instance to mastodon.social. If you are curious and want to see what did I post before, just check my frozen profile at http://mastodon.cloud/@torresburriel
please help evel!: "My #family & I are trying to flee the country! Please help us out, so we can buy traveling specific things (like compression socks, #cat carriers, #passports, airline tickets, #visa fees, [etc]) or to offset monthly costs so more funds can go to immigration specific costs." Anything helps - xen needs to cover passports and a marriage certificate next.

Most #birds #migrate at night, when it’s more difficult to identify them visually and while most birders are in bed. For over a century, acoustic monitoring has hovered tantalizingly out of reach as a method that would solve #ornithologists’ woes...software called BirdVoxDetect, the result of a collaboration between New York University, the #Cornell Lab of #Ornithology, and École Centrale de Nantes, identifies the bird and classifies it to the #species level. https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/12/18/1108423/bird-migration-ai-machine-learning-ecology-research/ #migration
please help evel (a queer and trans Indigenous parent) flee the country! Evel has about 3 to 6 months to get xen's dog ready for getting on a plane. if xen gets $100 in chewy gift certificates, xen can buy enough plant based treats to do that! (the ones xen wants are on sale, so kinda in a hurry)

here's xen's wishlist: https://throne.com/evel
Or you can just send an ecard directly from their website https://www.chewy.com/chewy-egift-card/dp/1386934 (email is evel @ riseup.net)
Any amount great or small helps!!

If you’ve ever had to leave an instance behind too soon, or hopelessly tried to find an old post in an archive you kept; you know the feeling of loss.
With #Posty you can turn that Mastodon archive into a functioning static website, with (my favourite part) a tag index.
See an example of what’s possible in the post below.

https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa is awesome and https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/work/longer_than_six_months probably applies to many people considering the UK.
I'm going for UK naturalisation soon, whenever I can pass the awful Life in the UK Test. (New residents don't need to think about LitUK prep or anything, but the fees for any application are expensive.
You also generally have to apply from your country of nationality (/ residence?) in advance, but I will check on that. Might have changed, too, tbf.
https://www.gov.uk/entering-staying-uk
Anyone with professional qualifications, especially "Health and care professional, Digital technology professional, Academic or researcher, Work in arts or culture, Professional sportsperson, Religious worker, I want to start a business."
https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa
According to https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/your-job, "The minimum salary for the type of work you’ll be doing is whichever is the highest of:
£38,700 per year, OR the ‘going rate’ for the type of work you’ll be doing."
I work(ed) in IT and never came close to that. Unfortunately, this particular route is not likely to include most people under 35, except maybe the furries or something. (But other VISAs might be fine.)
https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/usa/work/longer_than_six_months/other has a good amount of detail to start with.
However, the current nickname of 'TERF Island' is worth bearing in mind. If people have british or irish family, probably still less disruptive to come here, but their HRT is very likely to be disrupted following the stil-upheld Cass Review (or report, icr).
People from or with Commonwealth Country family or birth certificates are also well-placed to come, but again, bear in mind the Windrush scandal, where the gov insisted on trying to deport people who were here perfectly lawfully ffs.
Any EU people https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families
Here we go again, go germans! :)
