Migrating your account to Sakurajima Mastodon

These steps will show you how to migrate your account to Sakurajima Mastodon.

You must have an account on Sakurajima Mastodon (sakurajima.moe) first. Before proceeding, create and login to your account first. If you don't have one, create one here.

Note: You cannot move an account from a server that is on the suspension list (as a result of violating our TOS)

Why Sakurajima Mastodon​
