Mike MadridIf you’re new to Mastodon and are among the #twitterrefugees - Welcome and glad you’re here.
This site seems to be much more hashtag driven. It also feels kinder if a bit clunkier. My guess is I’m a month we won’t remember #twitter
TheNurseIsIn@mikemadrid great to see you made the trip over. 👍🏽
Brent 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦@mikemadrid please note that the native apps are far behind the web app in functionality. #mastotips
I Linux I Lose 😫@mikemadrid It's weird to get used to the people-powered network. Posts travel word-of-mouth (boosts). And search is (purposefully) limited to hashtags to keep the trolls from finding you (unless you opt-in with #hashtags).
Fioravanti@mikemadrid I'll give this site a try. Sucks about Twitter, it was a cursed but beautiful time.
Alireza 🇺🇦@mikemadrid Seeing you move to mastadon was enough for me to join 😄
LindaMaeTX@alireza @mikemadrid Alireza, I also joined because of Mike. But it can be hard to build your feed. The Mastodon app doesn't show the full fediverse, only your local feed (instance/server you're on and people you plugged in that you know their handle, like I did with Mike). I suggest using another app and not Mastodon if you are using your phone so you can see the full fediverse. I'm trying out Metatext on an iPhone.

John in Pdx@lindamae @mikemadrid @alireza Liking Metatext much more than the Mastodon app. Ability to easily switch between local and fediverse is nice

@lindamae @alireza @mikemadrid there are third party tools to find people you follow on twitter and have mastodon handle.
bruceymonkeyalice@lindamae @alireza @mikemadrid I know what you mean. It's a bit frustrating because one of the things I love about twitter is that if you become interested in a topic, all you have to do is find One expert in it and all of a sudden you can "listen in" on a lot of smart conversations. I home Mastadon gets that .. and soon.

Does the phone app show the full Fediverse?
The Federated timeline is all the public posts from all the people being followed by the people on your instance.
I thought Search was the only way to see the full (public) Fediverse facilitated via hashtags. I could be mistaken.
@hinano @alireza On metatext I see 3 feeds/timelines. Home, which is my curated feed, Local, which is everyone on my instance, and federated which is a ton! Not sure who shows in federated, but it is a lot and definitely some unmoderated stuff (unwarned nudie pics) as the #twittermigration continues and mods try and keep up. I see toots from all kind of instances. I don't have many followers so I think it is everyone. Had to put in preferences to slow scroll- the speed of new toots is fast.
@lindamae @alireza @mikemadrid I’m trying the Mastoot app. It had good ratings. As far as I know, I like it. But I’m still trying to figure out Mastadon overall.
No0neReaIIy@mikemadrid welcome! I too am a #TwitterRefuge
Deano@mikemadrid it’s going to be interesting to see what happen. Twitter looks like it’s got rough times ahead.
