When listing my followers, most of them have either an icon-plus or an icon-x at the right. Plus means I can click to follow them, and x means I already follow them and can click to unfollow.
But a few of my followers have neither icon, just a blank space on the right.
What does this mean? I neither folllow them nor do not follow?
Jef PoskanzerThis is the Twitter -> Mastodon friend migration tool we've all been looking for: https://www.movetodon.org/
1) authorize Twitter
2) authorize your Mastodon instance
3) wait while it greps through your Twitter followers
4) click on the ones you want to add on Mastodon
Easy peasy!

Tristan LouisTo #journalists on #mastodon : Realize that you can embed Toots like you embed Tweets in your stories. Under the 3 dots at the end of a Toot, you will find "Embed" which allows you to embed a toot in your content management system. Another way in which you can now replace #Twitter with Mastodon in your reporting.
