@FediTips but I guess the way the guide was written, I thought if you clicked the profile name on a post it would actually just take you to the new profile, not the old one with a redirect message.

@FediTips I was on the desktop version of basic mastodon.

@FediTips thank you so much!

Also, the guide said that if people click your username on old posts it will redirect them to your new account. I did a test with two dummy accounts last night and migrated one to the other.

But on the “original” account, when I click the username in the old posts, it still goes to the original profile. Is that the expected behavior? I thought it would take me to the new account?

@FediTips I’ve gone through the guide a few times. I still have a few questions (if you’re open to them):

1. Even if I do the full migration, when people @ mention me, it seems both accounts will pop up as options. I’m wondering how to not have that be confusing as to which one they should select?

2. Once I do the migration people can still comment on old posts. But I’m assuming I can only reply as my new account?

Thank you!
