If you're from #Twitter with the #TwitterMigration, RIGHT NOW is the time to let your people know you're on Mastodon. Don't wait until that channel is shut off (if or when).

I absolutely do not know everything about #Mastodon but have quickly become an evangelist for it and the greater #fediverse.

If you, or anybody else you know, need assistance getting onboarded, just ask. There are plenty of friendly, non-judgmental people ready to help.

Keep in mind: THIS IS NOT TWITTER.

@ChrisPirillo Biggest thing for me so far was how it's decentralized, but you can still follow people hosted on different servers without having to sign up for them. That's going to be a learning curve for people coming from Twitter who may not understand the difference.

@mynickisnick @ChrisPirillo #TwitterRefuge here. So you can follow others that are not necessarily on your home/same server? Is there any advantage on being on the same server?

@BlessYourHeart @ChrisPirillo Yes - if you have the URL for their profile, you can copy/paste it into the search box in the top left and then follow from there.

I'm honestly not sure if there's any advantages to being on the same server.

@mynickisnick @ChrisPirillo Got it, whew glad everyone doesn’t need to be on the same server. Thank you so much for the quick response, much appreciated.

@ChrisPirillo @mynickisnick @BlessYourHeart is also easier for someone within your server to find you and read you. However, once they follow you, it doesn't matter the server.

@Ha2fly @ChrisPirillo @mynickisnick When you search for someone, does it search just your sever or all of them?

@BlessYourHeart @ChrisPirillo @mynickisnick your server only (unless your search includes the instance ie. @mindlysocial)
