Joyce VanceLots of folks moving over as part of the #TwitterMigration & I'm still trying to figure out how to use Mastodon. If I know you from Twitter or real life, will you reply below to help me & others find you & follow? Especially #TwitterLegalAnalysts. I'm trying to find y'all!
Warner Crocker@JoyceVance Glad to see you here.
Josh Kornbluth@JoyceVance Hi, Joyce! You don’t know me, but I’m so grateful for what you do! (I make videos about empathy and brain science: citizenbrain.org.)

Joyce,
So delighted to see you here in the new neighborhood.
I wrote a post about my migration. My top advice:
1. Switch to light mode. Makes a huge difference.
2. Select. the advanced web interface in settings. It's like Tweetdeck; much better view of everything.

NM Wizard@jeffjarvis @JoyceVance Thanks for the tip. 😀👊🏻🐘
Voline@JoyceVance @jeffjarvis
Jeff,
Often Mastodon’s features work the way they do because it was first populated by people who had been harassed on FB and the Birdsite.
For instance (not sorry), you cannot search Masto for a simple term. Only #hashtags. Say you’re having a private conversation about iguanas. Anti-iguana trolls will not be able to search for “iguanas”, find your conversation, and drop into it to say, “Iguana luvers suck!”
But if you are wanting to connect with new iguana fanciers on Mastodon, slipping an #iguanas hashtag somewhere into your posts will allow people to search for and find them.

This is, low key, the greatest decision this app has made.

maraleia@jeffjarvis @JoyceVance light mode makes all the difference in the world.
Kathy Roberts Forde@jeffjarvis @JoyceVance Thanks for these tips, Jeff!
Rick JudyJeff, What is 'light mode', is it a change from the black background I see on my PC or is it related to one of the phone apps?
Never mind, should have done a search first - figured it out.
@HikingGP I also pick the advanced web view.

@JoyceVance Good luck with your orientation, Joyce - I can't help you find your colleagues, but I can tell you that I'm glad you're here. Thanks for making the effort.
Michael Kane 🇺🇸@JoyceVance Historians use the hashtag #histodons - maybe there's an equivalent for the legal profession?
Lariat@JoyceVance Check out @WalterShaub's posts, he has listed a ton of people who are on here.
daylemunn@JoyceVance I'm following you, but I'm a nobody from Georgia. Love your analysis.
Sukipanther@JoyceVance @jentaub has been offering help.
SueHeckman@JoyceVance I’m not a legal person but an avid fan of the #SistersInLaw hoping you all show up here #twittermigration

@JoyceVance hi! Love reading your Civil Discourse newsletter. Glad to see you here.
Gina Spadafori@JoyceVance I am glad to see you here. I take your newsletter, but love your well-considered “hot takes.”
DidiQ@JoyceVance glad to see you here. I almost gave up on Mastodon when I first tried it, but after a few days of setting up my account, learning the basics, and establishing connections, I’ve come to really like it.
I’m DiDi@pasqualiba on Twitter. Looking forward to closing that account soon :)

@JoyceVance I guess we are all in the same Twitter Titanic lifeboat.
ConnieV@JoyceVance You don't know me but I'm so glad I can follow you! I'm beginning to like Mastodon. It feels right.
Mike Sliczniak@JoyceVance I'm just a follower of you from twitter, welcome.
Ti@JoyceVance Hi Joyce. I agree a little tough on finding folks early on but what I'm doing as well is finding folks that I know of like and go to their follower list and start following folks they follow
Channelgrace@tile @JoyceVance yes, I’ve been looking for my great follows, finding some, then go nudge them on the bird app-hoping some will migrate. I do know a lot of people are coming here. It does have some quirks (see my other posts) but overall, I really love that it’s here for us-AND NO ADS!!!
Shelley Youngblut@JoyceVance Excited to rebuild a better place (a good place, even) with you.
Teresa Paxton@JoyceVance Loyal reader, listener and follower here. I look to you for clear legal and political analysis, and for your heartwarming pet photos! 💙🐓🐾
Kelly Therese@JoyceVance Joyce! I'm so excited to see you over here! We need all of the knitters to come to Mastodon.
#IndictTrumpNOW ✏️🇺🇸🏳️🌈☮️I don't know if you know me, though I follow you on the bird app. I'm still trying to find and follow people here.
Lauren Lavoie@JoyceVance You don’t know me, but I’ve sincerely enjoyed following you over on the bird app over the years. I always appreciate your insights and I learn so much from your plain English interpretations of our legal system. I also enjoy your back and forth with Preet on the pod. I’m glad you’re here.
Robin Guinot 🇺🇸🇫🇷@JoyceVance big fan of yours from Twitter, Civil Discourse & The Insider. 👏 Also a fellow #knitter 🧶. Glad that you’re here with us!
Marcy RW@JoyceVance Great to see you here! I’m sure we’ll get the hang of this really soon. Love your newsletter, say hi to your chickens and Judge Bob!
John K@JoyceVance Nice to see you show up. Now to find Preet.
✨Cosmic Social Worker✨@JoyceVance Glad I found you here from #birdapp
Mara@JoyceVance I followed you on Twitter anonymously. I'm on this site using my real name and am following you here.

JustAmy She/Her@JoyceVance Hi, Joyce. You don't know me but I do follow you on Twitter and am so happy I found you here. It is definitely a bit of a learning curve but so far I like it; feels calmer, less stressful.
Aly_Ayl_@JoyceVance Twitter follower of yours here
@JoyceVance Hi Joyce!!
DBdant@JoyceVance I've been following you for ages on Twitter. Part of the #TwitterMigration, but keeping my Twitter account as long as I can stand it.
Positivity@JoyceVance super fan, here. 🤚would love a follow.
Zoeduu@JoyceVance well, long time follower of you on Twitter…you’re the first person l found here that l followed there. But now l see some familiar folks in the replies! Yay!
Coach Rostollan@JoyceVance just a follower of yours, not worthy a follow back.
Kenji@JoyceVance I’m in IT security/networking and follow you on Twitter esp since you became a MSNBC contributor. As it turns out more of the folk I follow on Twitter are on this instance, but there some people on other instances to locate as well. Has anyone used Fedifinder to search your twitter followings/list member for mentions of Mastodon accounts?
🦫💧🐸 🌻🌹@JoyceVance i am nobodu. Followed you on the #deadbirdsite where's your sister in law?
Benjamin Detenber@JoyceVance I'm an American academic abroad (i.e., a communication scholar based in Singapore), and I am happy to follow you here and leave the bird behind.
