@dangillmor lol help me I left immediately when the acquisition rolled over and lost my entire audience which I had brought over from the blogosphere when I left a media conglom

wouldn’t have done otherwise and knew that’s how it would go because it’s not my first migration, but it do be hard out here

I was @JSto there — so long-time/early publishing there

@JSto I have half the followers here that I had there, but at least 10x the genuine engagement here.

That said, I've disappeared from a scene where I had some prominence -- but a loss of followers and (if I had any) mind-share is well worth it.

@JSto @dangillmor
JSto, there used to be services to find your twitter followers who have mastodon accounts in their profiles, if that still works (last I heard, it did). The one I used created a list I could import here to connect to them.

Also, maybe one of these tips can help?

Wishing you the best 🤞

@JSto @dangillmor Looking at your profile, I would suggest following about 1000 accounts. Poke around on different instances and follow people that look interesting so you build a spiderweb across the fediverse. Many of those people will follow back, especially if you engage in conversations.
