Ask HN: Is there a tool to follow all the people I follow in Twitter in Mastodon

5 pointsyangikan3 comments

I have started using Mastodon, but a big pain is following the same people I have been following in Twitter. Some of them have Mastodon ids too, but it is a pain to manually find their Mastodon ids and follow them. Is there a lookup service that will automatically do this?

Fedifinder produces a file you can import into Mastodon: https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

This tool will do that for you: https://twitodon.com/

I was wondering how this works:

> Twitodon will scan your Twitter "following" list, checking to see if any of those accounts have also used this service. If they have used this service they will have linked their Twitter account to their Mastodon account, and you'll get their Mastodon information in a nice file that you can upload.
