I have moved from inuh.net, which was giving me many problems, to hachyderm.io. I probably screwed up the migration - I know I'm missing some of the people I followed, for example - but let's hope this is a healthier site. The migration itself hit a rate limit almost instantly, but I presume things will settle down.
Meanwhile, I would really like to flip to light backgrounds. Dark mode isn't good for old eyes. But I can't find the setting in the web interface.
@robpike Welcome! 
@robpike Preferences > Appearance, one of the dropdowns near the top of the page is site theme, with light as an option.
@robpike And yes, if my migration some weeks back was anything to go by, Mastodon/ActivityPub do not rate-limit or try to do any kind of host load management, so the broadcast of "I have moved" results in an immediate deluge of automated activity from all your followers. It settles down after some minutes, although some followers take an hour or two to trickle in due to backoff.
@danderson Got it! Thanks! I was looking at the wrong "Appearance" page. (Confusing.)
@robpike I know where it is only because I helped a family member find the exact same toggle the other day, and we had a similar confusion.
@robpike I seem to have had my following status update to your new address. As mentioned elsewhere, I'm suspicious of this magic, but it appears to have worked in this case.
@robpike Still reading you.
@robpike welcome to hachyderm! I suspect you will find it a good fit.
@robpike
Weird, I must say that I have become more and more in to dark themes the older my eyes get. Having all that light shine into my eyes from a light theme is very straining, I think.
The best would probably be a colour e-ink display without any light shining from it, so that the only light I would get would be from a lamp or something behind me.
@robpike welcome!
@robpike wow I think this is the first migration that I've seen bring along followers flawlessly. How'd you manage that?
@jzelinskie I just followed the instructions I found by searching Google, and then guessed (because it was not clear at all) that the one to drive the migration was the _old_ account, not the new one.
@robpike Out of idle curiosity, what sort of problems were you hitting?
@rburchell Zero toots in my feed. Zero.
@robpike Weird problem, haven't heard of that one before. Good thing moving fixed it :)
