Welcome to my first Mastodon followers. I'm still figuring it out. I will probably start by duplicating what I can from twitter here, until I get used to it. Martin
@MartinLewis Welcome, good to read you!
@MartinLewis Well, look who turned up!
Welcome Martin, hope you like your new home.
@MartinLewis welcome. Glad to see you here.
@MartinLewis welcome Martin Lewis. Great to read you here and benefit from your fab advice and update!
@MartinLewis A warm welcome to Mastodon, sir - very much hoping you like it here!

@MartinLewis

Thank you for adding a Mastodon extension to your online mansion

If a renter is being charged 54p/kWh for their electricity, what can they do about it?

(Energy Price Guarantee suggests 34p/kWh, so a 59% overcharge)

@MartinLewis Lot of folks piling in today so things may slow down a little
@MartinLewis
There are apparently apps which can replicate your Twitter posts over here, so will save you the trouble of doing it manually.

@PhillipBurgundy @MartinLewis
but i advice to set up the #crossposter that ye are posting on #mastodon first and sending then a copy to #twitter..
as a lot of folks here have filtered everything which comes in from Twitter... for further tips i can recommend the websites of

@pallenberg ( additionally explainatory Podcast)

@feditips (huge explanations to a lot of stuff)

@digitalcourage ( hosting a Webinar next MOnday 21thNov. 19.00UTC for newbies to answer questions live)

@MartinLewis
Welcome to the dark side Martin 😁
@MartinLewis Delighted you’re here Martin. 🖖

@MartinLewis You can get a cross-poster setup (google is your friend there)

You may eventually want to host your own instance, as a way of self verifying as there isnt a blue tick way of doing that here,

@john @MartinLewis Hosting your own instance is endorsed, but verification is as simple as linking one of your websites in the profile metadata and verifying it by linking back to your Mastodon profile. This will be indicated by a green checkmark.
@luetage @john @MartinLewis in the meantime, Martin has confirmed this account is valid on his verified facebook account here https://www.facebook.com/mrmartinlewis/posts/pfbid02Q7c2nhc7DjuTFD4z5LhQ9dRMnDzKNsxEBLX6VrmvDspu1aG2D8sv4YNS5vyxGymql

@MartinLewis Thanks Martin glad your here.
@MartinLewis it's quite confusing, right?
@MartinLewis likewise I think we’re all trying to find our way at the moment
@MartinLewis hi. Thanks for all you do

@MartinLewis Welcome - nice to see you.

Happy to try and help if you need it.

@MartinLewis Welcome, Martin. There's plenty of nerds here to help.
@MartinLewis think we will all be doing that until we understand it .
@MartinLewis Nice to see you here Martin 🙌
@MartinLewis good morning! This is my first toot ? 😬
@MartinLewis Creating as many audiences as possible for your great advice/info is the way to go. Good luck with it.
@MartinLewis hi Martin you're a good egg welcome to this weird elephantsite
@MartinLewis first person I've followed here and mu first...masta....Don...post? Thus is going to take a while to get used to!
@MartinLewis found you! Confused.com because they have different servers, not just one. I’m also on Mastodon Social (I think) but not used it since the day I joined. Good luck and keep spreading the word! 😃🙏
@MartinLewis Welcome. I have been here a week. So far Mastodon is the warm happy place to be in the world of social media. Once you're account is setup it's not much different to Twitter.
@MartinLewis yayy! Great to see you here!! 👍👍👍👍
@MartinLewis Welcome to the fediverse, good to have you here!
@MartinLewis
Hopefully this is you, but whomever you are, welcome. Prepare for something different. It's worth climbing in despite the apparent steep learning curve - it's not as far as looks.
@MartinLewis
Welcome Martin! Glad to see you made it here. :)
@MartinLewis. Hi Martin, I followed you over from the other place.

@MartinLewis

You are very welcome here Martin. Your advice is invaluable to so many of us beleaguered UK folk

@MartinLewis You are my first follow, and now my first ever 'Toot'! If you are concerned about Twitter, then it's time to find an alternative!
@MartinLewis great to see you here Martin.
@MartinLewis Welcome. Great to have you here! I am a fan and used a lot of your tips back when I lived in the UK. I also work for Vivaldi (see my profile). If you have questions, please ask.
@MartinLewis When you figure it out, please let me know how it works😂.

@MartinLewis

Welcome Martin.

Remember, if you want an interesting timeline you need to follow people and boost (retweet) posts you like. There's no secret algorithm filling up your screen with stuff it thinks you'll like, it's down to the people you follow and what they boost.

It's also important to try and use CW (content warnings) on anything that may trigger others. Politics, economy, angry posts, food pics, etc.

@jasonpedlow @MartinLewis Another tip is that you can follow hashtags of things you’re interested in, the same way you follow people, that way you’ll see relevant stuff in your feed.
@MartinLewis My first follow!
No idea how this network works either. I would hate to lose access to your valuable and appreciated advice should twit or book of faces collapse. HUGE thanks to you all and your team for what you do for us. Anna xx
@MartinLewis we will learn together hopefully

@MartinLewis
Good to see you here Martin. I’m a few days in and gradually finding my way round despite being a techno numpty. People are so friendly and helpful here so different from the toxicity of you know where.

Your views and insights will be so welcome

@MartinLewis delighted to see you here (and to be your tenth follower).
