Comment on How do I go about finding the right instance for my alt?
Lehmuusa@nord.pub 2 weeks agoYes. The two instances are completely separate servers and don’t know about each other. Also, remember to take backups of your data regularly in case that your instance goes down.
Go to Settings, then “Import & Export” and press the “Export” button. You’ll get a file that you can upload to another instance and keep going almost as if nothing had happened.

Oh, that solves the biggest issue for me. I don’t want a bunch of new emails. Thanks.

For the record, I have about 15 accounts (alts) on various instances here. It took me “some” time to find out where I belong 🫣🤣
And when I finally did, I soon noticed I’m trans and that caused my old username to feel kind of “wrong” – a deadname of a kind. So, I had to create new alts and stopped using the old ones. Now I’ve got two alts I use regularly, and a third one I have as backup in case this favourite instance of mine goes belly-up at some point.

Blorp? I’m assuming that’s an APK download? I don’t see it on Google Play Store.

It’s on F-Droid, at least. F-Droid has a lot of open source apps that Play Store doesn’t have. Their data security tends to be better than those of apps on Play Store, as well, because they don’t send your data to advertisers/spy companies.
