Will is too honest to be an MP
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

@spenbroc Hmm, I suggest you also add it to your profile, else others won't be able to find you

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

@chrisgerhard @WilliamNB you can follow a hashtag if you use the browser rather than the app.

@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!
Show threadWill is too honest to be an MPNov 10, 2022
@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
