Bonfire Offers Framework for Next-Gen Fediverse Platforms (wedistribute.org)
We recently chatted with two of the devs involved with Bonfire. Honestly, they have some really amazing ideas about building a modular Fediverse platform that developers can build on for their own apps.

How to migrate between pixelfed instances
The docs only mention to create an account alias to the old account. However it doesn’t clarify what to do next, as on the account alias page the migration should be done on the old account. I have not found the setting to do this next step.
