\nHow to Find Your Twitter People on Mastodon<\/h3>\n

people you follow on Twitter may be on Mastodon and you can find them<\/p>\n

Assessing<\/a> by David August<\/a><\/p>\n

Trying to find people you connected with on Twitter here<\/a> on Mastodon is complex right now.<\/p>\n

I’m using the three tools to try to get people’s handles over here on Mastodon off of Twitter. All of these are a little unstable right now since so many people are using them at once.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. https:\/\/twitodon.com\/<\/a>
    You log into both your accounts with it, let it work, and then can download a file you can then upload to Mastodon to follow people. The catch: those people need to have used it too.<\/li>\n
  2. https:\/\/pruvisto.org\/debirdify\/<\/a>
    Lets you basically scan your Twitter folks profiles to see if they’ve left a Mastodon forwarding address for people. Then you can download a file you can then upload to Mastodon to follow people (or manually look through, which I recommend). The catch: if might get things that aren’t actually Mastodon addresses, or their colleagues info scooped up instead.<\/li>\n
  3. https:\/\/fedifinder.glitch.me\/<\/a>
    Like Debirdify (number 2 on this list), it scans your twitter folks profiles over there to try to find their Mastodon handles. It also download a file you can then upload to Mastodon to follow people (or manually look through, which I recommend). The catch: it also might scoop up stuff that isn’t actually a Mastodon addresses, or their colleagues info.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So far, there is no single, easy way to migrate. That is kinda what happens when a single company with 7,500 employees keeping things working is no longer involved. Disappointing, but Mastodon can be an alternative and stop-gap right now; Mastodon may be able to grow into a more resilient option than Twitter or any other run-by-a-single-company social network ever has been. Right now, much of Mastodon is just struggling to accept the huge number of new people using it. Patience is probably a good plan. Good luck, and let me know if I can help you. I’m @davidaugust@mastodon.online<\/a> on Mastodon and have other links on my linktree<\/a>, and should always be findable through davidaugust.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
