So, @tnashTim Nash and I moved to a private Mastodon instance on @mastohost

Despite following all the instructions, trying reboots
and re-running dead jobs, we are both WAY down on followers that haven’t redirected.

I’m at about 25% of my old followers from ross@fosstodon.org !!!

Is this normal? Did we do something wrong? Are they dead accounts? Do we need to just wait? Tips for fixing?
