### How do I migrate my account to ecoevo.social? {#q1}

Please see the [tips section dedicated to migrating](./tips.html#migrating-your-account).

### How is Content Warning (CW) decided when I post something? {#q2}

CW is not automatically decided by an algorithm but is an opt-in option for the
author of the post.
A good start to understand CW is to read the [etiquette section](./etiquette.html#use-of-content-warnings) about it.

### Why are some features I have seen on other servers not available on ecoevo.social? {#q3}

Mastodon is an open-source software in constant development,
both from the main maintainers [here](https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon)
but also by other groups of people that may want to fork the project or
build custom features.

On [ecoevo.social](https://ecoevo.social/about) we are running the
official stable version of Mastodon.
Therefore we do not have features available currently in the development version
or custom features locally applied on other servers.

[ecoevo.social](https://ecoevo.social/about) is dependant on the hosting provider
[masto.host](https://masto.host/), we do not have the possibility to install either
the development version or custom features.
