To my friends migrating from Twitter to Mastodon, I can't recommend http://movetodon.org enough for finding your follows on the new site. It will probably stop working soon as Fakesavant Babyman is having multiple tantrums. Takes a few minutes to work, but the "follow all" button makes it easy.
If you're also migrating to Post, Seth Abramson's lists are indispensable.

@stevesilberman also recommend being open to a whole new experience instead of trying to recreate what is gone

@stevesilberman cheers. I've also printed (to PDF) the results, just to be safe.

Thanks for the recommendation! I just used Movetodon and it easily found which of my follows were also on Mastodon. Loved the "follow all" button!

@stevesilberman Won’t work, I already deactivated my account and will never log in there again for any reason as long as Elongated Tusk owns it.

@stevesilberman Dang, too late for me, I deactivated my account. 11 yrs in building, gone. 😩 Other than loss of following and followers, no regrets. Was a relief to unistall.

@stevesilberman thank you for posting this! So useful! It found 300 friends for me, and followed them all in under a minute. So glad to be connecting up with my peeps over here, as the other place collapses.

@stevesilberman It is kinda buggy — follow all doesn’t work, if you manually follow it doesn’t update, etc. I presume this is due to so many of us using it.

@stevesilberman It would be so cool to add some more discoverability to see all the followers of a user. I don't want to go to the page on their server. I just want to go through them and follow them.

@stevesilberman Seth is an @#€%&. And why move from one leaky vessel to another when there's a lifeboat waiting?
Show threadSteve SilbermanDec 19, 2022
@martinvermeer Mastodon is not for everyone, and both Post and Mastodon are rapidly evolving. Some of my disabled friends find the Post onboarding process easier. Seth's lists are well curated; that's what mattters most when people are fleeing a burning building.

@stevesilberman

I'm stuck on 'enter mastodon domain' for whatever reason... the "login" (graphical) button doesn't work at all.

Anyone else have this issue? I even tried looking at the source code, I don't see why it's not working :(
