A few things worth checking, beyond where the servers happen to sit: ✅ Can you take ALL your data out and leave? Real export, not a token CSV. ✅ If you switch providers, do you keep your identity, your network and your history... or do you start again from zero?

Don't Migrate Your Main. I Did, and Here's What Happened. - Ewan’s Blog
I pointed early software at the one account I couldn't afford to lose. It went exactly how you'd expect.
Three Servers and a Tunnel
Credentials first, then email, then everything else. Before a single service can move, the migration has to be ordered by dependency, and the infrastructure to hold it has to exist first.

Tent — All your data in one place
A Tent host corresponds to an atproto Personal Data Server (PDS). You can sign up with a provider or run your own, and switching is account migration: your DID stays the same, so links to you and follows of you keep working.

Migrating to Northsky Social on AT Protocol
Posted the other day about migrating my account to my own PDS, here's the write up! I used the goat command line tool and I've included commands to backup and verify. Overall a painless experience! jola.dev/posts/migrating-atproto-accou…
Migrating your Bluesky account the hard way
jola.devmoving in is a breeze thanks to @baileytownsend.dev's PDS Moover. you should come visit and stay with us if you feel at home. Nuremberg is a good place. You can connect with a lot of Europeans from here. And the rest of the world is also just a few milliseconds away.
Atmosphere
docs.npmx.devthis is a psa , if you visit a website that offers to let you sign in with atmosphere/bluesky you should click the little question mark in the top right. if it says "transition:generic", that app can do ANYTHING with the data in your account, short of dms and actually deleting/moving your account..
I'm glad that my article helped bring attention to this problem - which had bricked your network for all new users who had joined starting on June 22 (3000+ accounts, for 7+ days - I've got .csv records to prove it). Happy that my proposed solution worked 🫡
W Social
Some W users may experience temporary profile issues (e.g. "Profile not found" or "Invalid handle"). We’re actively resolving a minor AT Protocol issue and will update you shortly. Thank you for your patience - and for helping shape the future of European digital infrastructure.
