• Suggesting Mastodon for the academic community.

  You can search for people you know and follow them on Mastodon. There is this tool that allows you to search your existing Twitter profile and output a .csv file with those in the followers/followed list. This way, you can ensure that their exact handle is found. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Threads vs Twitter for Academia

  There are tools to help find people you know on Mastodon. Check this out. It is the Fediverse finder where it will scan your Twitter followers / followed people and give you a .csv file with their corresponding handle in the Fediverse. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Elon Musk Is Running Scared From Mastodon; Cuts Off The Best Tool For Finding Your Twitter Followers There

  The two other popular ones after Movetodon were Debirdify and Fedifinder. They seem to be working right now, but I’m assuming not for long. Almost certainly not after Musk institutes his fees for API access. So, even if you don’t plan on using Mastodon for now, it might make sense to set up an account before these tools disappear.

• Tell HN: Use Twitter to Mastodon account matchers before February 9

  Tools such as Fedifinder [1] and Twitodon [2] use the Twitter API to determine which accounts you follow, and Twitter is ending free API access on February 9th, which could break these tools [3]. Even if you have already used these tools in the past, you may find a few more Twitter users who have since set up Mastodon accounts.

• MN Journalist Aaron Rupar suspended from Twitter. The purge of the left has begun.

  Here you go. You have to authorize it to access your twitter account so it can gather your list of follows and followers, then it checks to see if they have Mastodon accounts for you. Source: over 2 years ago

• Twitter suspends journalists who have been covering Elon Musk and the company

  Do you already use Twitter? If so, fedifinder.glitch.me will show you the Mastodon instances your Twitter follows are on and will export a file you can directly import to Mastodon to follow all these people when you have an account set up. Source: over 2 years ago

• Mastodon links in name or bio now banned from Twitter for being “malware”

  There are quite a few tools which will find the people you follow on twitter. For example, right now, when I run one called fedifinder[0], it finds 473 of the people I follow on twitter. when I import that list into mastodon, im now following all of their mastodon accounts.

• Mastodon links in name or bio now banned from Twitter for being “malware”

  Based on the fact that this is affecting name and bio updates, I strongly suspect they're doing this to try and prevent people from finding their Twitter contacts on Mastodon. For those who don't know, there are tools like Fedifinder[0] that will scan your follows/followers' profiles and look for Mastodon URLs so you can follow them there. They're probably trying to make it harder for people to jump ship. Even if... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Bill Gates hasn't posted on Twitter since November 19th

  It sure is. By the way, Movetodon seems to do a rather poor job on matching profiles - https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ shows me 130 accounts, while Movetodon only 91. Seems like it doesn't handle servers with different account and web domains at all. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Twitter is limiting Mastodon Twitter Crossposter

  For some it's a way to have a foot both places until they feel secure enough about moving over without losing a lot of connections and engagement. It'll change. More and more people (and I see it myself too) report far higher engagement even with far fewer followers on Mastodon - our Twitter accounts have acccumulated so much dross and the Twitter algorithm also means a lot of people simply won't see your stuff... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• mastodon.social or mastodon.world - what's the difference?

  There are plenty of tools to help you figure out Mastodon, check out fedifinder.glitch.me or instances.social, but it doesn't take all the choice away from you. Mastodon isn't like Linux where some people want to replace Windows: It's *intended* to be smaller, more curated, where community members make an active choice to be there. Source: over 2 years ago
