Today I successfully tested a migration from my 'historic' Akkoma instance to littleFedi, without changing the domain name and without breaking the federation.

The procedure involves extracting the keys, so federated instances will accept this without any issues. In their eyes, there will be no particular differences, and they will gladly digest it without breaking the federation.
I have documented the procedure and kept the tool. I'm probably going to create something similar for Mastodon, though it will be a bit more complex.

@stefano that's a hell of a surgical operation, I'd love to read a write-up of how you did it!

@cobweb@corteximplant.com thank you! It was easier than expected and yes, I think I'll write about it in my blog 😉

@stefano omg rich text with bold an italic… which as of today are still not a mastodon thing… (to my knowledge)

@EnigmaRotor@bsd.cafe exactly. Mastodon doesn't support writing in markdown, only rendering it. Some of the forks do it, anyway (like glitch, etc)
