@feditips I tried fedifinder, but it only returned me 4 contacts I was already following. It did not work well for unfortunately.

@feditips I've used both and they both work

@feditips I changed my Twitter display name to my Mastodon handle. There are also Tweet Delete services that let you remove all your old content. So I only have a couple of posts on my Twitter account pointing out people can join Mastodon and advertising https://forums.shipoffools.com/ for long form discussion.

@feditips it found 2 accounts in my case, somehow I am not convinced that it is ‘complete’, but it’s a good start!

@feditips
Fedifinder is a real help.
I use it twice a day and transferred about 200 of my followings so far.

@feditips Both worked well for me. Each offers slightly different tools in addition to the basic scan follows / scan followers.

Fedfinder lets you scan any lists you have (private lists in my case), so if you have lists of people you don't follow but read you can search to see if any of them are on the Fediverse.

Debirdify lets you scan blocked and muted lists, convenient if you want to preemptively pull those over as well. It also handles private lists, but clunkier imo.

@feditips i tested fedifinder and it works great.

Yet i tested „Debirdify“ … the result:

@feditips Thanks, I'll give them a try

@feditips rebirdify is fantastic

@feditips @RandomSecretary

@feditips I used fedifinder and it was great! You can export the account you follow, following you and your lists. Fast and easy to use!

@feditips Just used Fedfinder and successfully picked-up a few Mastodon users I hadn't been aware of, from my twitter follows list. Easy, thanks.

@feditips why does it want to take me to Zoom? Do I have to have a meeting with someone?

@feditips just had good results via #Debirdify

@feditips Just tried Debirdify for 2nd time and got another goose egg, Plenty of hits with Fedfinder,, thanks.

@feditips haven't tried Fedifinder as of yet. Debirdify simply works.

@feditips how do I follow people who’s addresses I already know? I search for them and there are no results.

@feditips Seems not many people in my twitter sphere have mastodons, but debirdify found one person I follow and one person I muted. Seems to be working well in that case.

@feditips I used fedifinder & it did what it was supposed to but some people are using linktr.ee & some are putting their mastodon name into into a pinned tweet instead of their profile so it didn’t find many. I also have to run it every couple of days to find new people.

@feditips debirdify made it much, much easier to find my mutuals 🙌

Hope they find me back! 🥰
