Fellow #UKCyclingTweeps who migrated to Mastodon, shall we simply use the hashtag above to identify ourselves?
If we all posted a message with that hashtag, all of us can search for the hashtag and reconnect with old friends from the bird site.
Obviously, you all need to boost this, so others can see it & start using the hashtag
@WilliamNB fine, I'll bite, and join the #UKCyclingTweeps just this once.
@WilliamNB Yeah, feels like it needs something searchable #UKCyclingTweeps

@WilliamNB

Not had time to figure this site out yet (the older I get the harder the tech seems to be) but i can get onbaord with the #UKCyclingTweeps hashtag

@NeilE @WilliamNB I think it helps to add a profile picture, and something in your bio, so people can see what your interests are, and decide whether to give you a follow or not πŸ‘πŸΌ

@WilliamNB lol someone suggested the same to me last night. My adaptation was to add you Twitter name or URL to make the connection easier.

@WilliamNB the next release of mastodon will support following hash tags, which will help a lot

#UKCyclingTweeps

@chrisgerhard @WilliamNB you can follow a hashtag if you use the browser rather than the app.
@WilliamNB #BikeTooter is also being used. Toot toot!

Guppe Groups

@WilliamNB well that worked for me thanks!
@WilliamNB migrated here but yeah, without a specific bike server at the time I'm on a Wales one and can't see any followers/following for ppl on this site πŸ˜… #UKCyclingTweeps
@WilliamNB I don't see anyone else who has mentioned this yet so: what about all the non-UK cycling folks? #cyclingtwitter is an international space after all - and better for it!
@ali Absolutely. The only reason behind that hashtag is that in the UK there's a significant cycling group on Twitter, many of who follow each other and the hashtag was designed to help them find each other easily on here.
It's not slightly exclusive, as the #BikeToot hashtag is global
