The thermostat is paired with the boiler, the signals bundle the unique ID’s of each so this won’t happen. Otherwise there would be a risk the original thermostat would do the same.

The thermostats are paired, if my setup was able to control another apartments boiler then the original thermostat would also do that

Posts are linked with accounts and blasting old posts out as if they are new is not practical in a federated network, and since Mastodon doesn’t support backfilling (and likely never will) it’s just not going to happen. This isn’t even getting in to the logistics of redirecting replies and likes/boosts. The GitHub issue for it has been open since 2019.

Mastodon developers have made it clear that they are not interested in implementing post migration. The protocol is just not suited for it.
