Trying to migrate from Twitter but struggling to find people and get this working - please say hello if you see this
@sara_endipidy Try doing an #introduction post ... include some hashtags for your interests (you can "pin" this post if you like).
Another strategy is to search for the hashtags of interest and checkout some posters of Toots with those hashtags.
Hope this helps.
@sara_endipidy Go to your local timeline and follow anyone who looks interesting. This is my strategy rn. And hallo.
@sara_endipidy one way to connect with people you follow on Twitter here is to do a bulk import described here https://econtwitter.net/@fetzert/109297231732853388
@sara_endipidy hello Sara. The way you find people is via shared interests of you haven't got IDs. Create a #introduction Toot and pin it in your feed, as people search a lot on that # ATM. Over you find people you know look at their followers/followings for IDs. There are tools that you can use, eg https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/. Welcome!
@sara_endipidy hello! Welcome to the new thing, better than the old thing. Just give it a few days, you'll be grand
@sara_endipidy my approach is to find _anyone_ interesting and then check out the list of who they follow.
@sara_endipidy Same! Also feeling a bit lost - not got my bearings here yet but I'm sure it'll all make sense in a few weeks. Hi from #Normandie
@lynn_guist @sara_endipidy Me too… all feels clunky and unfamiliar but I’m trusting it will soon make sense ! (Pont-Farcy, Normandie)
@Catalyst @sara_endipidy coucou from Sourdeval, you're about half an hour from me!
@sara_endipidy Hello!
Happy Monday to you!
Hope you're doing ok this fine morning! (why do I assume it's morning for you, I dunno, timezones confuse me!)
@sara_endipidy Hello, and welcome to the Fediverse!
@sara_endipidy it would help a lot if people had longer bios or introductions? Good luck!
@sara_endipidy Hi :) Apparently it's called 'Tooting' instead of tweeting - which in itself is enough to make me stay :)

Hi @sara_endipidy ;)

(Tipp: try https://fedifinder.glitch.me, that's how we followed you right now, by importing csv to Mastodon... ;)

@sara_endipidy Hi. Me too. I just tried this thing called debirdify, it supposedly shows you if anyone you follow on twitter has come over here
@sara_endipidy I used Debirdify to find mastodon handles for people I follow on twitter
@sara_endipidy
manual method: Search for "Mastodon" in Twitter People Search, then set filters for people you follow. Obviously won't work at scale. Surely someone will write an automatic tool!
@sara_endipidy morning, slowly building the mental energy to network over here πŸ§¨πŸ‘
