tech.lgbt is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
We welcome all marginalized identities. This Mastodon instance is generally for folks who are LGBTQIA+ and Allies with an interest in tech work, academics, or technology in general.

One bug I already found:

Moves (account migrations) could fail for observing akkoma instances if the migrated-to user has set their "also known as" (aliases) for that user less than 24 hours ago, *and* that akkoma instance has fetched and cached that user less than 24 hours ago. It doesn't properly evict cache when processing the move activity.

With that, a move activity would be a dud, and not move over follows from that instance.

So the advice I can give for anyone already is to wait exactly 24 hours between setting their alias on their new instance, and pressing "migrate" on their old instance.

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt this maybe explains why some people on 0w0 couldn't get the migration to work?

@smitten maybe, im noting it down in my todo to chase down and file bugs for, but im hot-shooting it on fedi right now cuz i think a lot of people would wanna know about it

Quiet public

@ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt well either way it's good to have a potential lead. we were stumped last time

Quiet public

@ShadowJonathan Ah! This explains a lot! It took about a week-ish after I originally set the aka for it to actually work

@ShadowJonathan This explains so much

@ShadowJonathan @ashten@woem.men is this maybe the issue you had with migrating? (I think you had issues with migrating, right?)
