Is there a tool or function that can migrate all my follows and followers to a new Mastodon instance?
My favorite one is closing down

@FediTips would you mind helping Matthew ️ please?

[justajason007@beige.party]

@mloxton yes. On the bottom right corner of the web app. Click the three horizontal lines. Then go to more and click import and export

@mloxton you then save as a CSV and once you're at your destination you import.

@mloxton Follows and followers are different.
You can easily export a CSV of the accounts you follow & import it into a new account to follow all those same accounts.

You can only move followers by migrating your account. For obvious reasons, you can't force other people to follow you. Migrating an account is special: you're taking your current account to a new place and so it's safe to have the followers move also.

Sounds like you want to migrate.
Here's instructions:

@mloxton It's a bit of a mess, but it works. I've migrated a couple times. Just follow the steps.

[redravenspirit@fedimedi.com]

@mloxton Oh gads, I'd completely forgotten you are also in med-mastodon. I migrated to fedimedi and I'm using ELK as the interface (fedimedi is a GoToSocial-based instance manged by the team of @wild1145 but that  does not have its own web interface).

The steps I took were (fedimedi is where I migrated to, but all other fediverse servers should have similar options)
1) Requested user account in fedimedi
2) Once granted an account, I went to the settings in the new account and pointed an Alias Account to my med-mastdon account.
3) In my med-mastodon I exported everything I could (see image), and I also requested a download of my profile.
4) by hand migrated all my profile info (pictures, text, etc..) from med-mastodon to fedimedi account.
4) Once everything was downloaded I went into the migration section and pointed my med-mastodon account to the fedimedi account. NOTE: this is the last step to be done in med-mastodon because the account is closed down (actually just suspended) and unless you click on recover before a set amount of time there is no going back.
4) As a precaution, check in new account that follow requests are initially open, it saves a lot of hassle. Afterwards you can change it to accept them manually if it how you have it set up in med-mastodon.
5) I only imported follows into the new account. I was unable to import bookmarks. I saw no use for my lists (or option to import them) and I'm looking at maybe creating new ones.
I think that your followers migrate with your account migration but, I also think that it is up to each follower to accept the change in their own account (this I am not sure).

As I said, in fedimedi as being a GoToSocial instance there is no web interface so I use ELK. But most mastodon instances have web interfaces.

If I can help, do send me a message.

Yes, there is! I've done a step-by-step non-technical guide to transferring your account at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server
