@adam yep, they do. With the way they've kinda taken over Fediverse though, I can't help but feel it's intentional.
"If we make it difficult and not work quite well, it'll be difficult for them to *not* use mastodon."
Though, here's a page by Fedi.tips that you can direct people to, in the future.

@BeAware Yeah, that's what we've been using. We finally got it done, nd now just waiting for the followers list to populate. And it looks like it has! Wow! I just checked. Well, that was fast.

@adam awesome! I had migrated from mastodon to a Sharkey instance in May. I didn't have the same luck. Lost about 150 follow relationships at that time.
Ended up migrating back for other reasons, but idk what happened or why it happened. It made me nervous about thinking about migrating again in the future though.
