Yes, it is! I was just about to post a follow-on to the post telling people how to move an account while keeping their followers 🙂

There's a non-technical step-by-step guide to transferring your account at https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

I know it seems scarily long but each step is very simple. I've written it that long to make each step as easy as possible. Also following this guide moves lots of other stuff too including bookmarks, account blocks etc.

"you don’t care about transferring anything else, you can skip steps 5 and 6"… the people you follow are in a csv file… when I transferred from .cloud to .social my followers came over but I skipped steps 5 and 6 so I had to follow my followers manually and then pick up other follows gradually as I remembered them…

Steps 5 and 6 let you transfer the other stuff (including people you follow).

You should only skip those steps if you just want to transfer your followers (people who follow you).

They're done by two different methods to prevent spammers cloning followers and spamming them.

Thanks for the feedback 🙏

I've added another sentence to it and tweaked it, is this better?

"If you just want to move your followers (people who follow you) and don't want to transfer anything else, skip steps 5 and 6."

"If you also want to move your follows (people you follow) you need to include steps 5 and 6."
