Tim RubackIs anyone maintaining a list of polisci/IR folks who have made their way to this platform? I'm trying to get situated here, but find the learning curve is steep enough that I keep falling off.
Claire Adida@truback I found this site maintained by @brenton_peterson helpful. If you download the csv, you can then go to your Mastodon settings, click on import/export, click on import, and import that entire csv list. https://brentonpeterson.github.io/Mastodon-PoliScientists/
Kate Wassel@truback @cadida @brenton_peterson @carolyneholmes You should also add yourself to that list and do an introduction post on here with a ton of hashtags. Hashtags are a bigger deal because they help people search across servers.
Brenton PetersonJust make sure you choose "Merge" when importing a "following" list. Otherwise you'll lose the current people you follow.
It's also worth spot-checking to make sure the imported names are actually being followed after a few hours. I've been having long delays and sometimes I end up just following people manually out of impatience.
