Yeah, it's a bit involved, migrating your fannish existence. There's a fair amount of faffing about with control panels and shuffling around of people. But it genuinely does not have to be a difficult or dramatic thing. Once you've had a bit of time, living in between the two sites doesn't feel any more momentous than crossing the street--you just pop back and forth without thinking about it. I found reading other people's advice and resource lists from earlier exoduses exceedingly useful when I was doing it, so I'm happy to pass it on.
And the amount of migration that's been happening between the server move and the new TOS really is exponentially bigger than any earlier influxes I've seen. Some of these steps took years for me to feel comfortable taking just because of how many people were still on LJ exclusively, but I think for people coming in now it's gonna be a lot easier to feel settled a lot quicker.
