If I have already signed up to a specific server, and want to change which server I'm signed up to, how can I do that without deleting my account? (self.mastodon)

The account lives with the server. If you want a new server to be your “home,” you’ll have to make an account with the new server.

What is the reason you want to change servers?

I just feel like I don't want to stay on the most popular server, because it could go down. And when that happens, I can't browse anything, not even stuff from the other servers.

Well that’s true for any server, and one could argue it is the popular servers that will stay running the longest, but you’re right. Any of them can go down at any time.

The good thing is you can create a new account with another server at any time. I encourage you to do it. Some apps (I use memmy) have multi account support, so I have 3 accounts on different servers that I jumó between depending on what I’m interested in looking at.
