i have no plans on this but how do you move a server, with the instance? do you just get everything set up then move the dns records to the new machine, copying the files and database?

Pretty much. go to social's cli can tell you where the media files are. To be careful you may want to turn off the server before making the copy; you should especially do this if using postgres but it's probably good to do for sqlite too, and it's not like the downtime is bad for a single user instance.

@walnut of course the documentation has this. wish it told me why some remote emojis don't load here, it's my only issue (as link verification isn't implemented)

@walnut oh and thank you. it really is just copy it somewhere to paste somewhere else. (plus the media files which are somewhere)
