#FediAdmin question: I'm wanting to experiment with running my own fedi instance, but I'm not entirely certain what software I will end up settling on. The first thing I'll be trying is GoToSocial.
If I decide that GTS is not for me for whatever reason, and want to run something else on the same domain (that is, with the same hostname in the account address, not a different subdomain!), is it *possible* to change to a different software under the same hostname?
(Note that I don't care if it's "a lot of work" or "pretty tricky" to make that happen; just if it's *possible*, or whether there is some sort of AP implementation detail that would cause federation to break no matter what I do.)
@joepie91 if you're switching away from GtS @dumpsterqueer is probably the one to ask
@sasha @dumpsterqueer I did also post my question in the GTS help room after this was suggested; when posting this initially, I didn't realize it would be a software-specific question 😅
@joepie91 my (limited) understanding is that to migrate software you'd need to transfer the keys your instance uses. I don't believe there is a standard way to import/export these keys so the answer will depend on what software is used on both ends.
I think I asked this in the GtS help room a while back and the answer was basically "we don't have a way of doing this atm", but I may be misremembering, or the situation might have changed.
