Hello world! It’s time to gradually move here I guess. Any recommendations on how I can find my favorite researchers to follow (like in Twitter) without searching for them one by one?

@longqi If you already have a set of follows in Twitter, you could try out a tool like Fedifinder[0] which tries to help with the migration. Full disclosure: I haven't tried it, myself; only saw it in my recent reading.

@ko @longqi having tried both fedifinder and debirdify, debirdify worked better for me.

Debirdify

This is a web app that helps you find out which of the people you follow on Twitter are on Mastodon/in the Fediverse already and follow all of them easily.
