Testing again
@pkrugman welcome man. Sorry it seems flaky on your instance.
@finity @pkrugman Paul needs to go into profile and uncheck “ approve followers manually” if anyone can reach him. He’s complaining on Twitter about that @Gargron
@pkrugman coming through, but apparently everything is very slow.
@pkrugman Looking forward to reading your opinions on Mastodon. It bodes well that someone whose work I originally started using Twitter to read is willing to switch to a new platform 😄😄
@hwarrior90
I think I started reading @pkrugman's blog on the New York Times. I'm eager to read his thoughts here.
@cgervasi @pkrugman I first came across @pkrugman when his NYT column used to be syndicated by The Hindu, a newspaper in India, back when I was at university. And then he won the Nobel Prize and I was like, wow!
@hwarrior90 @pkrugman I remember him expressing surprise that day when he won the Nobel Prize.
@pkrugman It's working. Now follow people on here to make your Home feed work. There is no algorithm that makes it for you. You can use this Debirdify to help find the folks you follow on Twitter who have come over to Mastodon to help it feel familiar. https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/
Debirdify

This is a web app that helps you find out which of the people you follow on Twitter are on Mastodon/in the Fediverse already and follow all of them easily.

@pkrugman Everything will be slow until the system administrators can upgrade their hardware, or new users move to other servers. You could have IT help set up a server for you and other Nobelists, mastodon.nobelist!!
@pkrugman and still working. 🙋‍♀️
@pkrugman I'm so done with tests, but hope you pass yours!
@pkrugman pong. Is see your toot about North London
@pkrugman OK, you are getting a lot of us on this platform. We expect a wild and crazy time here with you! 😃

“Update: so far things not going well on Mastodon. After the initial post, nothing I try to post is showing up. And despite setting it *not* to send an email every time someone follows me, it's sending them. I hope these are just teething problems.”

@pkrugman some of the servers are having a hard time today!
@yuhline @pkrugman I’m on mstdn.social and it is very sloooooooow.
@pkrugman I'm seeing your posts - and hoping to see many more of them!
@pkrugman greetings from Warsaw
@pkrugman I've seen 3 of your test posts if that helps. I will click the star on each as well so you can tell which ones I saw.
@pkrugman stuff is loading really slow, but I see you…
@pkrugman
Not sure if you’re using the app on your phone or a web browser, but the app seemingly isn’t working for a lot of people. I’m not having any issues on the web though. I was about to contact my server admin until I realized it was affecting others.
@pkrugman cam't be too careful...
@pkrugman
You can clone your Twitter posts with this tool:

Mastodon Twitter Crossposter

@pkrugman I see your posts. If you are using the web client I would enable "advanced web interface" as this will give you a page more like Tweetdeck which I find easier to read.
@pkrugman Can you hear me now? Gooood
