Confession: I'm really struggling with the switch over to here.

Anyone have tips for migrating your social network/finding people? I realize it took years to build my network on the bad place, but it's hard not to miss it.

@laurenfuess Every now and then I open twitter and search HERE the folks showing up in my feed there. Then from those I follow, I search their follows and see if there's others I missed. I didn't catch everyone, and some commercial accounts are definitely missing, but it's enough to get me my fix.
@laurenfuess @drmambobob follow more people than you would on Twitter. You can always unfollow later. Follow hashtags too (big feature of mastodon in my opinion).

@laurenfuess as @john mentioned, hashtags help (a lot). If lost at first you can start with general science hashtags. As you find and follow people with similar interest areas gradually your community grows.
Some publications are (already) also here.

In this platform following has an increased value. Some broad hashtags:

#Science #ScienceMastodon #SciComm #ScienceMethods #SciArt #SciArtist

@laurenfuess ...try https://fedifinder.glitch.me by @luca and https://www.movetodon.org by @Tibor to migrate from . (we could find ~200 accounts we're following with https://mobile.twitter.com/parents4future in November, - today already ~4200 accounts (!) that we just could import to follow here on #Mastodon)

Also https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon by @hendrikerz and https://fedi.directory/ @FediFollows are good ;)

@laurenfuess Ditto shifting over gradually.
