Account Migration

[aschrijver]

I don’t have the requests being made, but my gut tells me: Somebody making the flow charts should be able to drastically able to reduce the number of requests requiring processing.

There’s a sequence diagram created by @boyter of the current process:

sequenceDiagram
    actor User
    User->>Instance Old: Move
    Instance Old--)Instance Old: Fetch Followers
    loop Every Follower
      Instance Old--)Remote Instance: Move
      Remote Instance--)Instance Old: Unfollow
      Remote Instance--)Instance New: Follow
    end

PS. Also refer to Ideating organization structure for the Grassroots Fediverse (wiki) where the proposal is to unify several documentation efforts.

PPS: Should “Account Migration” become a FEP?
