@glennf Never eat pears!

@CivicDutyPeg@mastodon.coffee On your home feed, should have a "Lists" thing on the right of the feed to choose. Type in a name near the top and click the Plus next to create the list. Go to the profiles you'd like to be on the list, click the 3 dots to the right of the notification/alert bell and choose "Add or Remove from lists"

@Goodtrouble I just typed them in. Here's a list of some of the perks that the qoto.org instance has that other Mastodon instances might not. https://qoto.org/about/more

@CivicDutyPeg@mastodon.coffee You can still make Lists, works very similar to Twitter's.

@gossithedog And if you don't own Apple products, Tusky is a good 3rd party client on Android for Mastodon.

For shits & giggles I did a whois search on Twitter. Who wants to bet that the employees who were responsible for upkeep on their registration were either fired or they quit?

Tick tock, Space Karen.

@ColleenDoran Engagement is higher because an algorithm isn't deciding who sees you. Everything comes chronologically, the user chooses the curation: your local instance, federated, or your follows. No preferential treatment means little pressure to artificially inflate your account numbers to trick the algorithm.

It also works with lists.

This 3rd party tool will help scan your birdsite follows/followers who have posted their Mastodon deets in their username or bio - generate a CSV file that you can download (at the bottom after a scan) - and you can use the import tool in Mastodon "Account Settings" (Import and export, Import, make sure it says "Merge") for easy adding. Please note that it might take a little bit of time to process if you have many profiles to import.

@SpockResists Greetings and felicitations to the logical substitute for the bird site, Mr. Spock.

@Goodtrouble We match on quite a few hashtags here. I've sent a follow request.

@debdiscourse I really don't get the "too complicated" complaint about Mastodon. If you have an E-mail address, it's essentially the same concept but with more social network connectivity to it.

The main big difference is that because it's Federated, the searches aren't nearly as good because there's no central index to it all. Minor inconvenience, IMHO.
