That is what happens on Mastodon now when someone moves their account from one server to another — you get a notification of them following you from the other server.
I don't use mastodon. Do users need to reciprocate? So if I followed you and you moved server would I still get a notification, or only if you follow me?
Can anyone follow you, so does the notification let you know that it's a change, rather than a new follower.
@hitmyspot
It is all automatic.
You maintain the same relationship after the move.
If you just followed them, but they didn't follow you — that continues after the move.
If they just followed you, but you didn't follow them — that continues after the move.
If you followed each other — that continues after the move.
It is all automatic.

As a user, if someone who follows you moves their account, you see that as a new follow in your notifications.
