Iโ€™ve arrived on Mastodon! It may take me a few days to get orientated on this platform so please do bear with me๐Ÿ™
@PeterStefanovic welcome to here Peter, look forward to your posts here
@PeterStefanovic You may find it disconcerting how ... polite people are here ;)
@PeterStefanovic I'm waiting patiently and welcome!
@PeterStefanovic โ€ฆ welcome! the migration is underwayโ€ฆ
@PeterStefanovic - Great to find you Peter. Trying to navigate this platform at present. This is my link - please follow. Thank you
@PeterStefanovic Corrr, I'm your 69 follower. I'm not sure if that's hot, but I'll take it.
@PeterStefanovic Peter I liked following you on Twitter - so Iโ€™m now following you on here. Keep up the good workโ€ฆ..
@PeterStefanovic Hi ๐Ÿ‘‹ Use Metatext app if on an iPhone as the user experience is much closer to Twitterโ€™s than other apps.
@PeterStefanovic
So glad your here Peter your words of wisdom will be so welcome
@[email protected] read that as 'please do beer with me' ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sounds like a plan tbf, just joined & slightly bamboozled ๐Ÿฅด when in doubt, YouTube it!
@PeterStefanovic Definitely will. I think it is worth noting that on here, uploading of videos is frowned upon - linking is preferred. Given the popularity (and brilliance of course) of your videos, that is worth considering.
@PeterStefanovic - you can help orientate me too. Most confusing as decentralised.

@PeterStefanovic Welcome. It's a little bit different in here, no algorithms or adverts driving your feed. It's rather lovely though, very peaceful and yet still social.

There are lots of tips floating about, but for starters, use #Hashtags, because they are how people find topics, and put alt text on pictures, because there are a lot of blind and partially sighted users on here. The CW in the post box is for content warnings,

@PeterStefanovic welcome, Iโ€™ve been here just over a week and still getting the hang of it
@PeterStefanovic YaaaaaaY๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜Ž
@PeterStefanovic Hooray. Now you can drop the 2 at the end of your ID!
@PeterStefanovic Strongly Recommend anyone to follow Peter, you will not be disappointed in the least.
@PeterStefanovic great to see you here, it's much nicer ๐Ÿ˜€
@PeterStefanovic
Hello Peter looking forward to following you over here.
Keep up the good work ๐Ÿ‘
@PeterStefanovic hi Peter, nice to see you here, I have not recognised many people yet. I usually appreciate your tweets
@PeterStefanovic Not sure if toot.comm is the same but found lots of help guides on #Explore
@PeterStefanovic Hooray ๐Ÿฅณ I've been here for a whole *checks watch* 16 hours, so I'm waaay ahead of you ๐Ÿ˜†
Great to have you here too.
@PeterStefanovic Found you are am following you๐Ÿ˜Š

@PeterStefanovic

Hi Peter

I've done the same - glad to see you on here as you were one of my favourite accounts to follow on Twitter

@PeterStefanovic welcome! Good to see you here
@PeterStefanovic Just joined and found you! Canโ€™t see how to follow you yet!?
@PeterStefanovic ooh hello ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿค— ๐Ÿ™ welcome
@PeterStefanovic Good to see you here. Always a good account to follow up on the old site
Just joined myself, so trying to set things up and find people is different.
@PeterStefanovic Welcome. We are still a bit light on quality posters such as yourself but the more that arrive, the better it will become. Remember to check out the local and federated feeds. They are fun.
@PeterStefanovic Welcome, Peter. Many of us are new here, lots of new ways to learn!
@PeterStefanovic Welcome! my top tips 1. Sign ups: 1. Be patient - itโ€™s not corporate
2. Install good app (metatext)
3. Search will work better after you post an intro with lots of hashtags: no algorithm!
4. Add mastodon ids posted from twitter on here - you canโ€™t search other servers
5.Follow lots of people
6. Request archive of your data from Twitter

@PeterStefanovic Hello, welcome to the fediverse!

Although a lot of us know who you are, it'd still be a great idea to write an introduction post (with hashtags), as is the custom here.

Oh, and it's better to link videos than upload them, as uploads go onto your instance (server) and your instance admin will have to pay for all that storage!

@[email protected]'s Nice to see you - it's a lot friendlier here than at the other place!
@PeterStefanovic Welcome to Mastodon. On the birdsite you say you are having trouble connecting to people, and it looks like you are only following 16 people here so far. You can import most your fellow "follows" by using https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ yourself. It only needs read access to Twitter - then follow the instructions. That way you will have a more active and relevant 'Home' panel.

@PeterStefanovic me too Peter, good to see you and many other well informed here ๐Ÿ‘
