I've got an article about getting started on Mastodon as a user that I'm publishing today, but forgot something that I should cover: how do you find people after joining an instance?
Anyone got good tips that they'd like to be quoted on?
@david there was a twitter sync tool (mastodon bridge?) when I migrated, so found some of my current accounts to follow.
Other than that, mostly skimming the local & federated timelines for anything interesting.
there are profile directories on some instances, you can browse those & add your own profile to them, and your profile isn't in this public directory by default.
@david don't mind if you quote me on this, though of course its stuff without research that I simply remember seeing around
@patterfloof Ooh, I also just remembered that @skiring made a directory too which I'm including https://communitywiki.org/trunk/
@patterfloof I do wish that the bridge still functioned, especially now that it'd probably find more people that I follow on Twitter.
Profile directories are a good idea! Do you prefer if I do or don't quote/link you in the piece for that?
