@eylul nice. Im compiling some resources for newbies and the 2nd one is super helpful.
Do you know of a directory where you can show our twitter account and it shows where they are on mastodon?
@nonlinear there used to be a bridge tool but ran into a twitter API issue I believe.
Best suggestion I have is to put your mastodon ID to your profile and to a pinned toot. that's what most of us do.
(maybe somebody else might be aware of a tool that exists)
@eylul yeah it's doable but manual.
Of course twitter will protect their social graph. With "API hiccups". It's where the gold's at.
It's ok. I've been telling twitter users that it's a new bar, with new people. And maybe better ones.
