If you want to follow someone on Mastodon and they are on a different server/instance than you, you can find them by entering their full address in the search bar. For instance, if you want to find Mike McCue and you’re not on Flipboard.social, search for ATmikeATflipboard.social.(replace AT with @)

@MishaVelthuis it helps with readability (and accessibility for screen readers) if you use camel case too eg: #findPeople #CommunityBuilding #FediTips

Reminder for everyone, including myself: to bring people together on a particular topic, across platforms and servers, use #hashtags

These are the #wormholes of the #Fediverse, connecting the autonomous planets across galaxies.

Or even better: add a cluster of #hashtags to make sure that people find your community/ topic, even when they search with slightly different terms.

One way I found useful to find all you #NZTwits was to do a twitter search for the word Mastodon but filtered to those I follow. #twitterrefugee #findpeople
