@MoonlightBard Cost is a big factor as well as time on running an instance...However switching is really simple, if you get stuck @feditips has good clear instructions via their #fediverse website at https://fedi.tips but if you need help, just say the word.
I literally just posted about this a few hours ago, advice on how to find a good server on specific topics and how to transfer your account:
@feditips @MoonlightBard well done, I didn't think you'd mind the name drop as you have the info, hopefully we can help to get @MoonlightBard resettled on a new instance.
@robchapman @feditips @MoonlightBard@home.social
Y'all really are the best. But I think I can probably figure it out.
This sort of community-minded attitude is why I sat and cried like a baby for 5 minutes when I logged in and saw that home.social is closing.
I've made friends here. I've made connections here. I got my first Patreon patron here. It's one of my favorite places on the internet to be when I'm not writing.
I hate moving, so if I have to migrate, I only want to do it once.
