I’ve been looking for somewhere besides twitter to try and stretch my social muscles a bit heheh maybe I’ll set up an account

It's a little bit unnecessarily complicated for a social media site, don't let people come in and berate you for finding it might be too technical, because most people are looking for twitter-easy social media and this site surprised me with how annoying it was to get started.

Let me know if you need help finding a good instance.

What exactly is a good instance? I’m all signed up now just mucking around a bit trying to find anyone I know

Jump on a real computer or laptop then run this against your Twitter account

This will give you a CSV file that you can then download. Once you have downloaded this go here for graphical information on what to do with this CSV

If your friends on Twitter have been verbose about their mastodon handles you should have a load of your Twitter contacts now on Mastodon also.

Ah thanks! I don’t have access to my old twitter right now, just telegram- so I guess I’m starting from scratch lol

You might have to reach out individually to people to get handles then.

Remember the format in masto is like an email address @<username>@<instance name>
