Rod HiltonFollowgraph for Mastodon is so good I got rate limited by my mastodon instance while following people
Seth Goldstein@rodhilton I think I broke it. LOL
Anders Thoresson@rodhilton Oh, that was useful! Thanks for sharing!
jayphen@rodhilton This is so useful, thank you for sharing!
NomadicNerd (StoleUrSweetroll)@rodhilton I’ve used it a few times and just scrolled through it again but still not really finding anyone to add. I think part of it being where I’m more centrist introvert and always struggled to fit in
Kentropic@rodhilton Agreed! Best tool I've found yet to find the folks I used to follow on the Bird. Thanks for sharing!
Jeff Jarvis@rodhilton Thanks much. Doing likewise now.
gabe ck@rodhilton thanks. this is very much how I’d find new folks on Twitter and not having it in mastodon is super annoying.
Bruce Halperin 
@rodhilton It is really good
Daniel Ethier@rodhilton Are you running this recursively? Add a bunch of new people, run it again, add a bunch of new people ...
John GordonIt worked .. too well. Hundreds of suggestions! I’ll have to try it again when I have more time. :-)
pirate-spaceship@rodhilton thanks, great work ❤️
André Claaßen@rodhilton Thank you for your tip. I will try it out
Mary Beth Frezon@rodhilton that was so interesting and i found some very interesting folks and institutions
G00NZ00Okay, let’s take a look on #followgraph @rodhilton
Rui Malheiro@rodhilton it looks like a replacement drug for algorithm/popularity addiction.
"Followgraph looks up all the people you follow on Mastodon, and then the people they follow. Then it sorts them by the number of mutuals, or otherwise by how popular those accounts are."

Two observations:
A room of people that are all Caucasian ❌
Dude's got six fingers, excluding his thumb ‼️
Mr E McKissock@rodhilton
Looks useful, thanks
Looks useful, thanks
Matt@rodhilton @will this is awesome.
Brian Wolf@rodhilton and still not following me
*tsk tsk*
OrionPax TAThis is pretty great!
One thing I find annoying about the default mastodon android app is that it doesn't seem to have (at least the common) mastodon domains associated with it.
So I have to log in on my mobile browser or copy and paste to re-search for people I want to follow...
I'm sure I'm missing a step somewhere.
Matt Lehrer@rodhilton @mmasnick check out https://whomtofollow.com It focuses on smaller accounts, which I think you’re more likely to like or know
Mike Masnick ✅@mattlehrer @rodhilton holy crap. like everyone that one is telling me to follow are people i want to follow but didn't realize was here.
Tony Novak@mattlehrer @rodhilton @mmasnick I could not get the tool to work for me. Apparently a formatting issue. I am trying to enter some version of “https://c.im/@Onlineadviser”
@Onlineadviser thanks for letting me know. I will take a look as soon as I can.
@Onlineadviser Oops I should have read your message more slowly. You have to enter it as [email protected] or go here https://whomtofollow.com/?account=Onli[email protected]. I will make it more clear. Thanks again for letting me know.
@mattlehrer thanks. But still an issue. I’m now getting a frozen screen about a second or two after it starts processing.
@Onlineadviser hmm what browser?
nemo 🐠🐦@mattlehrer @Onlineadviser Hi! I have similar issues with Safari iOS/iPadOS 16.3 and MacOS Ventura 13.2. Page with results is loading very long and accounts earlier visible starts to be blank space and I can see only last five accounts. I turned off adblockers.
@mattlehrer @Onlineadviser But with Firefox on MacOS everything is fine! Sorry for bothering.
Thank you for the great tool!
@nemo4 @Onlineadviser thanks, I will do some testing on iPad and try to fix it later today.
@mattlehrer iOS 16 on iPad. I will try another on PC based later.
Chuck Darwin@mattlehrer @Onlineadviser
👏
Bravo for an interesting follow finder tool with a PRIVCY model that doesn't require authorizing the tool 🙏🏻
There still seem to be display issues which may be browser dependent
@cdarwin thanks. I’m working on making that part better.
Curious what you think of
https://followgraph.vercel.app/
These tools are valuable to the community 👍
A nice-to-have might be
sorting by # of followers (ascending/descending)
@cdarwin it’s great but I was frustrated that it is sorted by just the number of followers, so mostly shows very large accounts that I already decided not to follow. I wanted to find friends.
Sort by follower count is a great idea. Thank you.
Sort by follower count is a great idea. Thank you.
@cdarwin I added this sort. It's tough to get this accurately because the initial data about the number of followers is from the servers of the accounts you follow. They usually do not have the current actual follower count. When you hover over a suggestion, I try to update the data to get the actual current number of followers. But then you might have a list out of order and I don't want the one you're hovering on to fly away or disappear. I'm open to suggestions on the best way to handle it.

Brian Pierce MD@mattlehrer Very good so far. Thanks for sharing.
@brianpierce glad to hear :)
Judy Anderson@mattlehrer @rodhilton @mmasnick this is way cool and a feature I'd love is "how many posts per day on average" from each person. I don't like to follow firehose people (more than 10 posts/day) because I don't have time. (I let other people I follow curate them for me by boosting the good stuff.) Now, I have to go click on each of them and scroll through to get an estimate, which takes even more time.
@nosrednayduj @rodhilton @mmasnick yes, I’d love to do that. I will see if it’s possible via the API without a logged in user.
@nosrednayduj I added the number of posts per day. It includes replies and boosts. It might not be an accurate idea of someone who joined in 2018 but didn't really start using their account until recently. I think it's the best I can do for now though. I hope it's helpful.
@mattlehrer Awesome! Thanks!

Neo-Athenian EmpireThis was awesome! You are my personal hero of the hour!
