I posted this on the deadbird site:

"Standing offer for journalists: I'll help you get set up on Mastodon and will help you bring your Twitter audience along (and find new followers and rich engagement there). All I ask is that you migrate -- over time, not instantly -- your social media activity there."

@dangillmor How would you do this: “bring your Twitter audience along”?

I had the same question. I have to constantly swap between each site, and I would much rather not do that.

In the other place I have spent years curating very rich themed lists of clever people. I've started to do the same here, but it's just harder to find them.

@robf @admin @JohanEmpa You can, however, export them as csv files, share the file somewhere you like, and others can then import them and upload.

Also, check out https://www.mastodonlistmanager.org/main. Great list management tool.
