I’m thinking of moving my account to med-mastodon as I’m just not seeing my medical colleagues posts, meaning I’m missing out on a huge amount of information and learning when compared with the bird site.

I’ve read lots, but still can’t work out - do I have to create my new profile first before moving or is it created during the process of moving? I would like to move rather than just redirect and I don’t want two accounts.

Thanks in advance! 🙌🏻 #MovingInstances

@DrLygo don't need to move unless you really want to. Use and follow hashtags that are relevant. You'll see and be able to follow lots of new people that way

@darkufo Thank you! I’ve been lazy and stuck to the first app I downloaded and I don’t think it’s fit for purpose quite yet. I haven’t worked out how to follow hashtags on it, so I’ll have a look at Metatext and see if that lets me do it.

Really appreciate the advice! 🙌🏻

@DrLygo No worries. If you're on Android Tusky is very good. Also I would suggest whilst setting up stuff like hashtags to use a computer and the full web version. Enable Advanced UI in the the settings and you can have multiple columns. You can then pin a specific hashtag as a column. I find lots of great people to follow using that method.
