Barb McQuadeJust joined Mastadon. Glad to be part of the community.
Now how do I follow anyone?
😂
Buzz Lightyear💥@BarbMcQuade @WalterShaub is building a list here https://journa.host/@WalterShaub/109305407558020817
Rosemary Joyce@BarbMcQuade use hashtags to find people you are interested in and their followers can lead to more. (You are a hero of mine!)
ExistentialBunny@BarbMcQuade feel free to look at my follows. I’d bet you will find a lot you had at the other place.
Tony Winton@BarbMcQuade Glad to see you here!
Julie Zebrak
Lance Homer@BarbMcQuade so glad to have another person whose views I respect on here
Kristine@BarbMcQuade welcome! So happy you are here!
Ken Carroll@BarbMcQuade it is very nice to have you here. Welcome.
karlggest
David W Morganwhen you read their comment, just click on their name. That just worked for me, when I found you! It is a little slow, be patient.
DidiQ@BarbMcQuade very glad to see you here!
Jennifer Taub
Welcome, Barb!
Why don’t you follow Walter Shaub and then look at his posts as he has provided a list of over 100 accounts here that he has verified as authentic.
cc @WalterShaub
@jentaub @BarbMcQuade @WalterShaub
I found a lot of great people on Walter's list.
thank you!
Bianca@WalterShaub @BarbMcQuade @jentaub @adamdavidson also curated a list of verified journalists to make mastodon news worthy.
AlGRhythmAny idea of how to mass import to follows? Or is it the ol' one-by-one soft shoe?
tis_himself✅@BarbMcQuade Go to search (upper left on my desktop) look for @stevedevine and follow me --Please
Micah@BarbMcQuade would start by watching your local and federated timelines and just follow people who seem sane 🤷♂️
J. Williams@BarbMcQuade For anyone not on your instance (mastodon.online), I've found the easiest way is to type their username and domain into the search bar and click enter. There'll be a follow button on the right for any accounts that are returned in the results. Hope that helps.
nadin brzezinski@BarbMcQuade look up names, or just highlight, will give you a single screen where you can follow. Just followed you
@BarbMcQuade just click on their name and hit follow. It’s easy. Welcome I’m still having trouble with the iPhone app but otherwise all is good 👍
Morten Kjeldgaard@BarbMcQuade Look in "The Walt List" by Walter Shaub.

@BarbMcQuade Nice to have you around. Always appreciate your nuanced and carefully worded commentary.
@BarbMcQuade Big fan of #SistersInLaw podcast. New to mastodon but you can follow me on here!
Beatrice Kronski@BarbMcQuade Not sure what interface you have, but look for the hashtag icon. Click on that, then enter your search. I just found you by typing your name. Then click follow.
scott@BarbMcQuade finally! Had to ask Schaub if anyone had invited you. Thanks for joining…big fan.
Imprint@BarbMcQuade Oh I'm so glad you're here! Joyce is here. Did Jill come over too, did she bring her pins?

Christina Arrington@BarbMcQuade Trying to figure this out too!
ConnieNoCult@BarbMcQuade Glad to see you here! Just migrated myself. Now what? 🤣
miriammeister@BarbMcQuade Me! Me! Follow me, @BarbMcQuade!
Jon Vander Pol@BarbMcQuade Lots of cutting and pasting if they're on different servers!

MyFurKidsMom@BarbMcQuade me meme!!
Til Klem@BarbMcQuade

AKMooselover@BarbMcQuade glad to see you here!
I'm new. Friends are making a list of URLs they find and saying them. You were on it.
@BarbMcQuade So glad I just found you after several attempts. Via Walter Schaub list. Excellent resource for how to find a number of people to follow. No idea how the server stuff works. I’ve followed the “Sisters” on Twitter for a long time (and msnbc, of course) and losing your voices would have created a real sense of loss of with the demise of Twitter.
AltonGlad to see you here. I'm still painting the walls as well! My page in your search field:

Will the notorious "Skeleton Crew" also be joining you here ? 😂

Olga@BarbMcQuade Found you!!!!
Hank🍸🥃🍹🍷🍺@BarbMcQuade I wish I knew I just muddle along like everyone else.
@BarbMcQuade Found two of the sisters in law, you & Joyce.
@BarbMcQuade Glad I found you and @JoyceVance in here!! Now I need Glenn Kitchener to join!!
Jane🌸Hi Barb👋 Glad to see you here. I found all the #SistersInLaw except for Kimberly👩🏾🦱 :(
@BarbMcQuade the easiest way I found was to type the name in search, once found click on “follow.”
I also look on their Twitter profile for their Mastodon name.

@BarbMcQuade Following you… all is good!!
KYGrace@BarbMcQuade not to worry, they will find you! 🙂
@BarbMcQuade Trying to work all that out myself, Barb. Glad to have found you and Joyce!
Gus Dusenberry@BarbMcQuade I found folks I followed on Twitter, like you, by using the “search followed accounts” button on debirdify.pruvisto.org but it only finds those who have put their mastodon E-ddress in their Twitter profile, so you may need to search periodically to pick up folks as they catch on and do so.
@BarbMcQuade Didn't mean to do that. I'm just learning too. Sorry. Meant to like.
