Okay this might be a long post :blob_grinning_sweat:One thing that I realised is making #twittermigration harder for people to switch is because the whole concept can feel daunting & overwhelming for non-tech savvy people.With Twitter to them it was straight forward and easy to find topics they enjoy but with mastodon its a bit different. So if you’re new to mastodon or you want to introduce someone to mastodon here are some tips, useful sites & tools:Tips: Choosing a home instance isn’t as importance as it seems, don’t overthink it. Yes moderation rules & policies may differ but they all have one thing in common: Be a decent human. You always have the option to migrate your account to a new instance. Toots (or posts if you think toots are cringe :sad_cat:) are what we call micro-blogging instead of tweets You’re supposed to “boost” AKA “reblog” toots that you like.Since Mastodon does not have an algorithm that surfaces toots that have been liked a lot, boosting is the best way to help spread stuff that you like, and to show appreciation. (credit to @orsvarn for this comment) Another way to fill your timeline with content you enjoy is to: Find other people with similar interests, follow them, favourite their posts, boost their posts, use hashtags. rinse, repeat. (credit to @garry) If you ever feel yourself getting sucked into arguments on the #Fediverse, you might want to take advantage of the instance mute/block feature!Instances tend to foster a culture, so if you find people from a specific site tend to be bothering you, muting/blocking that instance will keep other members of that community from bothering you as well. Finally do not share private/sensitive information via DMs on Mastodon. Direct Messages are not E2E. Keep it in mindUseful tools & resources:Twitodon - Find your Twitter friends on MastodonFediFinder- Similar to Twitodon Fedi Tips - an informal, unofficial guide for non-technical people who want to use Mastodon and the wider FediverseFedi Directory - A human-curated small selection of accounts to spice up your timeline.Trunk -Trunk allows you to mass-follow a bunch of people in order to get started with Mastodon or any other platform on the FediverseFediverse.info -growing list of people and topics can help you discover mutual interests with people around the worldMobile Apps:Metatext for iOS :apple_inc:Tusky for Android :android:Lastly if you are interested in setting up your own instance you can learn via https://learnfoss.org/ its completely free and its made by the wonderful @stuxI apologize for the long post lol, just hope this helps anyones transition over :ablobsmilehappy:
