@Devils_Rancher skimming back in #homesocial , it looks like it shut down in June
@vwbusguy I was thinking of moving to that server after #homesocial shut down but no longer being able to speak in German unless I answer another persons toot made me reconsider.
i don't think the reasons were colonial thou.
Hi #fediverse
I made the mistake of joining #homesocial initially. I’ll try #mastodon social ….
Ok so #homesocial shut down apparently and my mastodon account was gone just a few months after joining. Hello #mastodonsocial. I guess stuff like this isn’t really user friendly for the average Joe and a big reason why those polished but proprietary platforms continue to thrive.
Update: Ukraine News from home.social didn't get that account migrated but is now posting again as @Ukrainenews
If you were following before, you can pick it up again there.
Update. I've been scrolling through my posting display weekly and waiting to see what happens when this new server finally clears its cache.
All boosts off home.social are gone plus all the lingering follows to/from home.social.
So that answers the question. Even if you keep them active, boosting/bookmarking your posts is a temporary fix. Physically moving them from X to Y with MCM is the only way to actually save them.
Yesterday I saw people trying to lure naive Twitter users onto their "protest" instances W/O explaining the meta defederation plans up front.
That's ... deeply uncool behavior. IMHO.
Home.social peeps especially: you're keeping track of your current admin's plan, right?
You likely can't migrate directly to/from gated communities. Or see anyone outside them.
Don't lose all your stuff a second time. Start making decisions now.
I've been distracted for the past few weeks, so I fell behind with keeping an eye on the #homesocial hashtag. If anyone else has spotted someone who needs boosting, point me! :ablobcatheart:

@deano I'm so sorry to hear this. I was very attached to that instance as well. The majority of the people I was following were #homesocial and I'll boost in case some of them were following you there.
@nathalice I like the name #homesocial orphans 😭

So, I would love it if you could help me build a group of new friends (and hopefully some old ones) by following me – and I’ll follow you back, of course. Mastodon is such a wonderful portal into a myriad of personal worlds all around the globe, and an insight into the lives and passing thoughts of real people. A big thank you to all those who have made contact already. Here’s to lots more conversation and giggles.

@deano I'm a bit lost too tbh... maybe we'll form a new community, the #homesocial orphans 😉
Having been away, I only found out about the demise of home.social this evening. I have therefore lost everything, and have moved here. I wonder if I will ever find all those people again. Quite emotional. #HomeSocial
Will be posting an 'introduction' tomorrow, even though I've been on Mastodon for ages. Missed the home.social closedown, and lost everything, so starting again here. #HomeSocial
I must have been asleep but I never saw the warnings and my instance closed and I have lost all my content 😕 #homesocial
Home.social note.
For anyone who was following midwestmonster, he didn't get his account info migrated. Now located here: @MidwestMonster
Pringle snoring. Sound up.
There's a lot of dog hair but it's okay, the duvet was theirs.

Weiß jemand was mit https://home.social/ los ist? Scheint plötzlich offline zu sein. Frage für einen Freund, der davon betroffen ist. #homesocial #homesocialshutdown
I think I've mentioned this to a couple of people? The small icon looked like a megaphone.
I spotted it in May on my account's Home page, somewhere in the upper right area (web interface).
I didn't ordinarily spent a lot of time on that page. At the time, I was scrolling there to pick old posts to boost onto ohai.social.
Maybe someone else has a better memory of what it looked like.
