Will #ScienceTwitter🐦 -> #ScienceMastodon🐘 work?
The response to this was massive & my #Mastodon has gone from a quiet void to a science party in just 3 days!
Many are worried about servers, network effects & losing followers
Follow these tricks to make it work for you! 🧵
1. Find your friends on #Mastodon 👯👯
If you want your followers to find you, put your #Mastodon handle in your Twitter bio, otherwise this doesn't work!
Go to http://fedifinder.glitch.me & insert your handles
It will create a csv of #Mastodon handles of who you follow on Twitter
@DavidBrueckner I put my Mastodon handle on Twitter in the form of a link to my homepage (server/@handle) because that was the only form that would respond properly after being clicked. Now I am thinking it may not be recognized by the "handle harvesting" script.
Does fediverse have any insight on that? Should I edit the handle? Could the script recognize this form as well?
It will still get picked up.
