If I decide to move to this instance would you follow me even if I migrated my account here?

@the_coffee_lover I'd suggest to wait before moving here. This is a test instance and may break, slow down, be offline, etc. It's not meant (yet) to be stable. littleFedi has still some rough edges and this instance is the key to spot (and hopefully solve) them.
@the_coffee_lover thanks!
I'll probably move it back to the (small) VPS later, as the SD wearing is worrying me and I don't think I'll be able to work on it tomorrow. But hey, moving it is so easy 😉
@stefano @the_coffee_lover I'm thinking of using a self-powered external hard drive connected via USB and keeping only the OS on the microSD card. I know it goes against the minimalist concept, but using a device for I/O-intensive tasks saves wear and tear on the microSD card. I have several 2.5" hard drives left over from upgrading to SSDs.
My Orange Pi PC is powered by an ATX power supply that also powers other systems via USB, but I'm not sure if it can handle powering a 2.5" hard drive as well—which is why I mentioned a self-powered drive.
@xenotar @the_coffee_lover that’s usually my approach, too. Read only internal sd and a proper drive connected.
