The bridge is out.

Who's participating in #NaNoWriMo this year? Come say hi-- I hear misery loves company~!

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

Are you thinking of switching servers?

I moved from .social (great, but enormous!) to the friendly waters of .ie (highly recommended, people here are lovely). If you've just set up an account, though, it can feel mystifying.

I wish I'd found this *enormously* useful post by @djnavarro first. See this part on migrating to a new instance:

Thinking about creating a Mastodon server for 1A enthusiasts.

Two rules:
1) No hate speech / harassment / abuse
2) Anyone who invokes "fire in a crowded theater" or "platform vs publisher" unironically is banned until they publish an ad in their local newspaper formally recanting their heresy.

Ok doing another https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ import of accounts I follow on twitter that may since have joined on here #introduction #mastodon

Bulk import is easy - for a short thread:

Hi #ScienceMastodon. I'm an academic at Oxford in the #biochemistry department. I run a lab working on the connections between #evolution and #epigenetics. New to the platform- I want to use it to keep up with new and exciting research. Any tips on how to get started would be great!

Hey @jotavillero

I am encouraging users to get verified (which they can do themselves).

This whole Mastodon thing might just work out (expand image to see full exchange)

The four stages of Mastodon user:
* what’s a Mastodon
* I feel lost and alone how does this work
* oh wow this is actually pretty cool
* I’m an instance admin now

Tip for the new folk:
Often Mastodon’s features work the way they do because it was first populated by people who had been harassed on FB and the Birdsite.

For instance (not sorry), you cannot search Masto for a simple term. Only #hashtags. Say you’re having a private conversation about iguanas. Anti-iguana trolls will not be able to search for “iguanas”, find your conversation, and drop into it to say, “Iguana luvers suck!”

I should probably do a new #introduction!

Hi I'm Sam, a #programmer living in north #wales. I mostly work in #Angular, #dotnet and #SQL, but I'm curious about all forms of programming.

I have an awful lot of pets, including #dogs, #cats, #cockatiels and #horses. I enjoy learning about #foss, alternative techologies, #solarpunk and recently converted myself an #ebike

With #NeuroscienceMigration happening, two resources I've found:
(1) twitodon.com: register with them to link your twitter and mastodon accounts. Then it will find (and output an importable .csv of) the mastodon addresses of all of your twitter follows that have registered with them. The more of us that register, the better it works.
(2) https://fedifinder.glitch.me/: put your mastodon address in your twitter bio. Then fedifinder will find all your twitter follows (or followers, or lists) who have put their mastodon address in their twitter bio, and output a .csv of them as above.
(To import the csv: edit profile -> import and export -> import, and be sure that 'merge' is clicked.)

#Twitter is top down. ⬇️

#Mastodon is self-organizing. ↔️

Still lots of unknowns & we’ll see how it all shakes out over time, but IMHO a decentralized network likely fosters trust & relationships in a way Twitter can’t. And that feels more sustainable over time. (FWIW I study community sustainability).

Also, so far it’s more pleasant here for women. #TwitterMigration

Dear well-known person coming here as part of #twittermigration, welcome! Also, a polite request: Mastodon actually does have account #verification; you just do it yourself. Basically, you put a link in your profile to your well-known web site, and your web site hosts a link back to your profile. The link in your profile then gets a green checkmark, showing that the web site verifies you are you! (It may take a while to process once you set it up.) Details here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification
