Lost touch after the shutdown? Here's a step-by-step guide to reconnecting on Aminoka, the closest replacement platform.

When Amino shut down, most active users split between Aminoka (community-builders, leaders, OC-traders) and Discord (chat-first). Many kept their original usernames.
- Search your old usernames on Aminoka — most active migrators kept theirs.
- Search the fandom's main Discord server (often pinned in the same fandom's Reddit).
- Try Twitter/X — many leaders posted migration links there before the shutdown.
