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.
