Hello #TwitterMigration friends, ideas for curating your timeline, which is quite like #gardening: what you plant will be what grows here for you.

1. If you mainly follow others who arrived with you, you depend on them staying. Balance with people who post regularly and there will be new growth here when you check.

2. Follow people who boost others. The serendipity of their associations will seed new ideas for you.

3. It’s a new home: you don’t need the same garden you had in your old home.

@katebowles Also, check out accounts from very specialized instances. For example from sonomu.club - a little community of musicians! You can follow us for starters :P (We have no commercial interest, but we still want our music to be listened to :) )

Thank you! I see this as a wonderful opportunity to connect with others, to learn new insights. And practice 🌱

@katebowles thank you for this.

I originally started using Twitter because I found that by connecting to other writers that I would write more myself

Now I'm a very active writer and I hope that I'll get to connect with more creative community folk here

@katebowles Definitely going to follow a time traveler with 3d glasses. Just makes sense.

@katebowles Yeah but I like the old garden, to an extent. So I follow the same people here.

@katebowles Good advice, thank you.

I have been just conversing with anyone who 'speaks to me', directly or metaphorically, but also trying to keep talking with friends who have come from Twitter in the hope of keeping the interest going.

I do hope that my eclectic mix of subjects will find new friends and interests as well as old.

@Maker_of_things What a lovely lot of stuff you do. I’m not a maker of things and it’s a source of regret.

@Maker_of_things Oh what a lovely thing to say, thanks. Yep, they’re pretty great. Fierce, activist, good friends to others.

@katebowles And that is what matters. You did that. 😀

@katebowles On the flipside, if you follow someone who boosts so much stuff that it clogs your timeline, you can always turn off boosts from their profile.

@katebowles Love this. Especially the analogy. Let's plant a new garden.
