A few recommendations for life on Mastodon:
1) Follow anyone you think looks potentially interesting; you can always unfollow later, and they may lead you to new people via boosted posts.
2) Boost posts you think are worthy, so others can discover new content.
3) Don't obsess on replicating your Twitter follows on Mastodon; let it be its own experience, and grow it organically. Obvs follow anyone you miss from Twitter, but this isn't a 1:1 replacement; have fun, follow your instincts.
Some folks have asked, "why not replicate your Twitter follows?" Obviously you should do what you want, but the Twitterverse was created with a lot of perverse incentives and strange distortions. To discover what makes this design unique, you may have better luck hand-curating your experience here than simply trying to replicate something from before, which is arguably broken in weird ways. A slower, more considered approach is, I think, worth trying.
@anaribeiro@toad.social@davetroy I’m still on Twitter for now, but haven’t imported following & followers ..so, allowing things to happen naturally, it feels very fresh.. like many here on this thread, discovering people I haven’t come across on the other side…thanks again Dave and thank you to everyone for their kindness & generosity in sharing content, knowledge etc very grateful
