So I know, I know you’re not really supposed to change the domain of an already existing Mastodon server. But I did anyway and set the previous domain as alt domain in config. However, to see content of accounts I previously followed, I need to keep the old domain running. With a redirect in place to the new domain it breaks seeing those account’s content. Anyway to resolve this so I can point old domain to new and see all content? I tried unfollow/refollow and it didn’t work. Thanks

    I read a bit ago here that other Mastodon instances will think it’s a new instance with new users (who coincidentally have the same content as the old users)
