For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find, but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it.😁👍
I'd love if you could share it among your networks to help those that will invariably need it.

Following on from this Initial Mastodon Guide, I have been seeing a lot of people asking for tips on how to find people and content to fill in their Home Timeline.
I decided to make a follow up video on how to best use search and also cover why sometimes you don't get the results you expect.
Any boosts will be appreciated to help others improve their Mastodon experience.

OK, well this is getting far more interesting for me! 😎
Given the open nature of the #ActivityPub protocol, it is possible to pull in the Instagram alternative, Pixelfed, into your Mastodon Home Timeline.
This is great for those looking for an alternative to Instagram, but not wanting to use yet another app.
Here is another short video on how this works and how you can use it yourself!

This seems to be becoming a habit of mine now as I begin to use Mastodon more and continue to learn more about it each day.
This one covers the options available to you when posting content such as Alt Text and Content Warnings but also talks about language settings and using filters to tidy up your timelines.
Any boosts will be greatly appreciated so we can help everyone get the most out of Mastodon.

Yet another short video to add to the list of guides.
This one covers how to make use of the Advanced Web Interface to really tailor your web experience for #Mastodon.
For those that are used to things like #tweetdeck or the app #tweeten on Windows, this will be very familiar to you. And best of all, it is built right into Mastodon natively.
As always, boosts are appreciated to get the message out to all the newcomers.

Another day, another video.
A lot of us already have a large #Twitter #Network and would love to be able to easily search #Mastodon for them to fill out our network here.
The #Fedifinder site helps make this a reality and it recently got some updates.
This video walks through the steps to #Migrate your network across in minutes.
As always, any boosts are appreciated to spread the word... And a sub would be lovely. 😜 #twittermigration #twitterexodus #youtube #feditips

Seeing a little too much #Caturday in your feed? Want to hide #spoilers for a TV Show until you see the episode?
#Filters are easy to set up and customise on #Mastodon. This short video walks through how to use them step by step to make it as easy as possible for you to manage your feeds.
As always, thanks in advance for the boosts, and a sub to my channel would mean a lot, I am aiming for 1000 subs. 😜👍

I shared a video earlier in this thread about how to #migrate your account to another server and ensure your followers come along for the ride, but how do you move other data such as the people you #follow, #mute or #block?
This video walks through this process step by step to make it as seamless for you as possible.
Yet again, thanks for the #boost and extra thanks to those that subbed to my channel. :success:

great info TY. But i consider that import/export module 100% ABSOLUTELY #USELESS!
At First i though it was a joke but after a lot of digging.. no info a year ago.. I found out that this dev must have forgot his brain somewhere at the last app he built.
If I cannot have the ability of moving my #VALUABLE_CONTENT THAT I #OWN FROM ANY OTHER INSTANCE WHAT IS THE POINT OF EVEN HAVING IMPORT/EXPORT?
FOR MY FOLLOWERS?? worth nothing!
Why should my VALUABLE CONTENT BE #LOCKED_UP aka walled garden IN SOMEONE ELSES INSTANCE??
IT'S BRAIN DEAD MENTALITY.
Now if I had a right to move #MY VALUABLE CONTENT to any other instance I would be welcomed w/ GLEE;) (conversion rates as high as 47% CTR;)
.. or if another instance does not want me to drop my 1 gig of posted content on their instance due to storage capacity LIMITS; that would be understandable.. and acceptable..
HOWEVER, IF I STARTED ON SOMEONE ELSES INSTANCE AND WANTED TO MIGRATE MY VALUABLE CONTENT TO MY OWN INSTANCE --THAT I MANAGE WE SHOULD BE FREELY ABLE TO DO SO!
Then can easily reengage with my lost followers I chose to do so.
This exception to the rule. SHOULD BE #MANDITORY across all mastodon accounts!
It's my content NOT theirs!! and I should be able to take my VALUABLE content anywhere I feel appreciated;)
#HEADS_UP! I see potential #GDPR violations here..
If you don't make this acception to the rule WE WILL BUILD IT:)
BUILD AND THEY WILL COME;)
