Marcus KelsonOK dumb question but where do I find people here?
Zekecosmicrejects@MarcusKelson search bar is what people have told me. But, so far no one I know is on here yet.
David Bell@MarcusKelson try using
https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/
to find people and then upload the CSV file of followers or following into Mastodon
Kylie@dbell2100 @MarcusKelson This was helpful, thank you David
@kyliehams @MarcusKelson No worries Kylie 😊.
James Purser@MarcusKelson are you looking for anyone in particular or just browsing?
@purserj trying to find twitter mates on here but I've figured out how to do it thanks :)
Cycling Stu@MarcusKelson A couple of places. You can put their username in up in the search. Or you can find people from the local feed or search for a relevant hashtag and add people you find that way..
@MarcusKelson also... lots of people have their mastodon username in their twitter details..
Caz@MarcusKelson In the 'search or paste URL' you can type a name and then press enter. Otherwise, you really need to know at least part of their 'handle'
@Carolyn yeah I think I've got it tks :)
bigjigsaw@MarcusKelson Try following hashtags of interest. Eg. if you search #auspol, you can click an icon to 'follow' it as if it was a profile. Your timeline will then begin to populate with #auspol posts.

@woodshed @MarcusKelson Nice - how do you set the coloured column headers? My web client doesn't seem to have that ability.
@bigjigsaw 1. Open Chrome and 2. Click on Settings and 3. Install aus.social app. Let me know if you have done that.
@bigjigsaw Not using a computer?
@woodshed I was, Chrome on Windows.
Jackerouac64@MarcusKelson I’m here otherwise you got to using the looking glass function to find them 🤷🏼♂️
@nealcassady64 I think I'm slowly figuring it out :)
neo_the_fat_cat@MarcusKelson I think tonight I’ll download my Twitter data and then manually try to find people who have profiles here. Very slow and manual until someone finds a way.

It also works by searching (^^^) for names - Marcus Kelson - rather than @MarcusKelson

Dave Lennon@MarcusKelson same as elsewhere..... down the back of the couch.... the advice to check to see who people you do know are following has worked in finding old bird friends
Jon Rodman@MarcusKelson like Twitter in 2009.
Danie Tregonning@MarcusKelson stalking peoples following lists does help. If you do that on the web, you can find others on other instances easily
@DanieTreg ah good to know :)
@MarcusKelson almost everyone I know it on Aus Social so I’m finding people through boosts too
CoolHandLuke@MarcusKelson Hi Marcus, I'm a follower from Twitter @BeKind_BeCool
@CoolHandLuke gotcha :)
3wombats@MarcusKelson search page. Scroll across the options to For You or Community there may be people you know there. When you find someone you know check their followers 👋🏻
KathieChappell@MarcusKelson I found the best thing was to go to # auspol and follow the names I recognised
