    Look like it won’t migrate the data, here’s what it says when I got to the option on my account:

    This action will move all followers from the current account to the new account
    Your current account's profile will be updated with a redirect notice and be excluded from searches
    No other data will be moved automatically
    

    However, you can do a data export and use the API to reload the data on the new account that way.

        Why would you want to? Honestly asking. Toots are meant to be more in the moment.

          I don’t care, I think it is fine the way it is. But the first point of the article is

          You can’t migrate your posts

          so that’s literally why I was clarifying that in the answer

          Worth noting that it’s perfectly possible to migrate data between instances.

          doesn’t really help here, because it is just partly true.

          So this is a fair point, if they really want this it’s a reason to leave. A dumb one at that imo but I am being downvoted here for just stating facts.

            Ok fair enough. I didn’t downvote you myself honestly you are saying anything that makes it reasonable to downvote imho.
