@seachanger @mollyjongfast @KrazyTheeAlaskan And more and more every day! So many people are moving over that I'm running the importer at least once a day to pick up new follows.

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.

@jcheroske @mollyjongfast @seachanger now what?
Show threadJay CheroskeNov 21, 2022
@KrazyTheeAlaskan @mollyjongfast @seachanger If you only want to find your followed accts, then just hit Search followed accounts. If you have lists you want to move as well, then hit retrieve lists and check all that you want to bring over.

@seachanger @mollyjongfast @KrazyTheeAlaskan once you've searched through your accounts you need to save them as a CSV fort import into Mastodon.

@jcheroske @seachanger @mollyjongfast ok. I think i know how to do that.

@jcheroske @seachanger @mollyjongfast how do i upload?
Show threadJay CheroskeNov 21, 2022
@mollyjongfast @KrazyTheeAlaskan @seachanger you're doing great! Now you need to open a browser tab and go to your Mastodon acct. Hit edit profile, and then select import export and then pick import. Select the CSV file and hit upload.

@jcheroske @mollyjongfast @seachanger says it will be processed in due time. Its up to my host server?
Show threadJay CheroskeNov 21, 2022
@mollyjongfast @seachanger @KrazyTheeAlaskan It says that, but it never takes very long on my server. Did it work? Did you get new followers?

@jcheroske @mollyjongfast @seachanger yes. I have been picking up followers like crazy.

@KrazyTheeAlaskan @mollyjongfast @seachanger You're welcome. You'll probably want to rerun the importer every few days or once a week to grab recent migrants.

@jcheroske @mollyjongfast @seachanger ok. Sounds good.

@jcheroske @mollyjongfast @seachanger how do i "bookmark" to find later?
Show threadJay CheroskeNov 21, 2022
@mollyjongfast @seachanger @KrazyTheeAlaskan Not sure what browser you're using, but it's usually a button up by the URL. On Chrome I think it's a star.

@jcheroske @mollyjongfast @seachanger happen to know how to log into multiple accounts and toggle?
Show threadJay CheroskeNov 21, 2022
@mollyjongfast @seachanger @KrazyTheeAlaskan In the browser you'd just use multiple tabs. Every app is going to do it slightly differently. Metatext can do it easily, but I can't remember how off the top of my head.
