The migration continues. Looks like following instructions worked! Thanks @FediTips
Pro tip: if you have more than maybe 50 followers, turn off the email notifications for new followers when you migrate to a new instance. I got a flood of over 1,000 emails overnight, and more are trickling in each hour. 
I was flattered and honored to see each of you all over again!
