I've updated the guide on how to transfer your Mastodon account from one server to another:

➡ https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server

It now has an additional step where you switch off email notifications for new followers on the account you're moving to.

Apparently some people have been receiving lots of email notifications for new followers when they've transferred followers over. For some reason no one has raised this issue before, but it seems to have happened to a number of people.

You've probably seen Tim Bray's article promoting Mastodon:

https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/11/03/Time-to-Migrate

It's obviously good and on point. However, the default link he uses to promote it is to the joinmastodon one, which you have recently pointed out the downsides to.

I certainly don't intend to tell you what to do, but it occurred to me that you might want to comment on Tim's post regarding that issue.

Thanks for everything that you do for the fediverse!
