Re: "If I wiped my instance database (so all users, posts and..."
@alexlehm The follower's instance thinks the user is following me, but my instance thinks nobody is following me, so my followers won't receive my posts and won't know they're not really following

Really not sure about this. Hopefully followers would still follow, assuming the same handle. Whym are you planning to wipe the first tootik ?

@aRubes I tested changes to the setup guide I wrote. I pressed CTRL+r and then Enter to repeat some command but it was the wrong window, and the current directory had a backup of the database from the first days of this instance ... and the command worked :)
If I wiped my instance database (so all users, posts and follows are lost), then re-created my user, is there any mechanism (a FEP?) to make all of my followers re-follow me? Otherwise, the rebuilt instance doesn't know who's following me and won't send my posts.
