@darrylxxx Fair play! 👏👏👏

@darrylxxx couldn’t you just encourage people to use hashtags in toots or bios for discoverability?
Show threadDarryl Collins 🚴🏻Nov 7, 2022
@si I was unsure what was the best approach. This is the one I settled on. Why would hashtags be better? (I'm new here!)
Show threadSi JoblingNov 8, 2022
@darrylxxx not sure if it’s better, just a simpler approach. When I tap hashtags, I see all the people who use them in toots. I think some apps support user bios too.

@si I get you now. Something like:

@darrylxxx Hi Darryl, getting a lot of comments on the bird site that the list of categories is too 'sporty' - many cyclists are 'people on bikes' and suggest you add options like 'transport cyclist' or 'person on a bike' to the list of options. Cheers!

Hoe begin je op Mastodon?

Er is een hoop gaande op Twitter (understatement van de week!) en je besluit eens een kijkje te nemen op Mastodon? Maar hoe werkt dat? Wat moet je doen? Kun je je Twittervrienden terugvinden? Waar …

@darrylxxx Is there a more up to date #TwitterMigration listing for the #BikeTooter crowd? The Google Sheet doesn't have that many names and is missing Toronto (#BikeTO), Ottawa (#ottbike), and Montréal (#VeloMTL).
Show threadDarryl Collins 🚴🏻Dec 26, 2022
@rzaichkowski just the one list here. It's entirely driven by users adding themselves. Perhaps @ them to invite them to add their details? Also boost the post to circulate it further?

@darrylxxx Thanks, Darryl. Just did a fresh share to encourage other #BikeTooter folks to connect with each other.

I can use the spreadsheet to create an importable csv file for folks to follow all in one operation.

Interested?

@2CB Not for me personally, I cherry pick entries, but feel free to create a csv file for others.
