When you move an account between servers, you also move your following list. Your new account follows all the same accounts and your home timeline is identical between accounts.
Of course the local and federated feeds are different, but those are local to the server and will always be unique.
What you're describing is drama, which is pretty easy to ignore.
My previous server got wrapped up in some ridiculously inane large-scale drama that I couldn't avoid. So I started my own server and moved everything over. I still see all the same posts from the same people and they still see mine. It's all exactly the same except for the local and federated feeds.
- creer 3y agoAs I read you, when you switch server, you still see your favorite people's own independent writings (the kind of thing HN posts link to). And perhaps their own local responses? And you give up the discussion threads or groups that are between the members of this or that server and moderated by the corresponding server people? These discussions are just among one server's members? Isn't that a rather small group?
