What are the *technical* steps behind moving a Mastodon account?

I understand how to do it from a user perspective (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/#move) but what does the new server need to do?

Is it as simple as adding an "aliases" to the webfinger?

Goodness me! The ActivityPub network is chatty.
In the last 6 hours, I've received 371 different messages to my single-user inbox.

Most of which seem to be from servers announcing users have been deleted. They're not users or servers I've seen before.

Is this normal?

Sad that my friends building apps on Twitter got cut off from the API - I spent a lot of time working to keep that API alive - but, happy to see folks like Tapbots here building on #mastodonapi https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/texas-tweetbot-developers-fighting-twitter/

They Made It Big on Twitter a Decade Ago. Now They’re Fighting It.

After Elon Musk killed their Twitter app, two software developers in the North Texas suburbs are trying to shape the future of social media.

particularly valuable quote in there from @nilay_patel "all the action is on Mastodon. That is where the app developers are, the platform is accelerating, and the underlying fediverse boundaries are growing".

This, to me, is absolutely key. Many of the things that made Twitter, Twitter, came from the developer ecosystem - having a vibrant ecosystem around #ActivityPub, #MastodonAPI and #Pixelfed and others can be instrumental for future growth and diversification of the communities.
