Account migration from #Mastodon :mastodon: to #GoToSocial :GoToSocial: was successful! :party_parrot:
:GoToSocial: memory usage kept below 600MB during the migration of 1.5k followers, amazing performance and makes me want to learn :golang: better, so I can contribute.
As expected, part of my followers could not be migrated (451 accounts) because the software they use doesn't support the
Move
mechanism.I will keep the old Mastodon running for one more week and then shutdown the VPS.
BTW: GoToSocial comes with OpenTelemetry builtin, but I have not enabled it, so to monitor I am using only
glances
andlnav
and it was enough to understand what was happening in terms of errors and usage of resources. -
@bruno Some of those users that did not move might also be on instances that are not online anymore. Some other software asks for the follower to confirm before moving the follow, so expect more to move in the coming days/weeks from experience.
Also do not forget to run the self-destruct process on the old instance (and you may want to update to Mastodon 4.3 before doing so, as it has been improved a lot)
