FINDING PEOPLE AND CONTENT

A lot of people have joined Mastodon, only to then look at their home timeline and see it bare. As there is no algorithm here to fill it with content for you, it is key to learn how to find people to follow from across the Fediverse and how to follow hashtags to help you find the content you are interested in.

The search capability in Mastodon is a bit different to other platforms and so it is important to learn how the #search features work.

Here is a short video on how to best use search to find what you want and I also cover why you may sometimes not initially find what you are expecting.

FINDING YOUR OLD NETWORK

A lot of us already have a large #Twitter #Network and would love to be able to easily search #Mastodon for them to fill out our network here. The #Fedifinder site helps make this a reality and it recently got some updates to make it easier and faster to use.

With the recent changes that have been implemented by Twitter, I can't vouch for how much longer this will work, but it should at least help you get started.

This video walks through the steps to #Migrate your network across in minutes.

@5ciFiGirl
Yeah, I saw.
I wonder if one of the services that can do this will be willing to pay the fee for access still. I guess only time will tell.

I suppose that might depend on what the fee is. 😒

@5ciFiGirl
Yeah, it's looking likely to be around USD$100 per month apparently. (According to one of Musk's tweets)

🤯 😡

That's insane! (But not actually all that surprising. 😒 )

@5ciFiGirl Yep, I am definitely in agreement with you there.
But thanks for giving me the reminder about it all, I just ran it one more time for good measure and found 6 more people. ;)

BTW, Movetodon was working a few hours ago, but now it can't seem to log into twitter. 😞

I will give Debirdify another try next! 😮

The error message:

Attached: 1 image ☹️ https://movetodon.org/ was working a few hours ago, but it might be swamped now with everyone rushing to use it! 😮 (Or maybe twitter has blocked it early?) 🤔 I get this error when Movetodon tried to log into twitter: 😞 #Mastodon #Twitter #TwitterMigration #Movetodon #Debirdify #FediFinder #5ciFiGirl
