mastodon meta question 

if i use the feature that lets me "move" my account to a different instance, does the new instance mirror/copy my old posts?

i have an ongoing thread i sometimes add posts to -- if it doesn't get copied, then i'm assuming that responding to the old thread creates all kinds of Federation Weirdery with instances that aren't federated with my old instance? (because it's approve-only)

would it even be POSSIBLE to respond to a thread on my old account once i've "moved' it somewhere else?

@wolfgang Migrating doesn’t move posts, no, it only copies over your following and followers lists, AFAIK.

You can still respond to posts from your old account though, if the federation list allows it.
