It has been compiled using **only publicly available** information.\n\n\u003e **Note**\n\u003e\n\u003e  If you'd like to be included, please add your Mastodon address to your Twitter name, username, bio or pinned Tweet and it'll be added to the CSV sometime in the wee hours of the night GMT.\n\u003e\n\u003e Please also let others know to do the same!\n\nThis project has a lot of possiblities and this is just a preview of what's to come. If you're in the data community and would like to add any additional lists, please do! Also, if you aren't on Mastodon yet and are looking to sign up, we recommend [dataplatform.social](https://dataplatform.social) run by [Daniel Hutmacher](https://dataplatform.social/@dhmacher).\n\nAlso, if you're a JavaScript dev, we're [looking for some help](#we-need-help) to improve this project.\n\n# Look how pretty\n\nIf you'd like to look at the CSVs now, GitHub makes them pretty and searchable.\n\n* [Data Platform Mastodon List](https://github.com/dataplat/mastodon/blob/main/dataplat/mastodon-import.csv)\n* [Power BI Mastodon List](https://github.com/dataplat/mastodon/blob/main/powerbi/mastodon-import.csv)\n* [PowerShell Mastodon List](https://github.com/dataplat/mastodon/blob/main/powershell/mastodon-import.csv)\n\n# Importing your CSV files\n\nThere are a number of ways to import these lists to your Mastodon follow list. Here are two.\n\n## Using the web interface\n\nMastodon has easy importing built right in, so after you've downloaded the appropriate `mastodon-import.csv` file, you can:\n\nGo to Mastodon -\u003e Preferences -\u003e Import \u0026 Export -\u003e Import -\u003e Choose your CSV -\u003e Merge\n\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8278033/204133498-1f92850f-0de8-4864-b59d-ccb02b462881.png)\n\n## Using GitHub Actions\n\nYou can also auto-import using the Mastodon API and the GitHub Action, [Mastodon Influx](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/mastodon-influx) (or whatever API interface you wish.)\n\nThe workflow will essentially look like this.\n\n```yaml\nname: Import Twitter Friends to Mastodon\non:\n  workflow_dispatch:\n  schedule:\n    - cron: \"30 2 * * *\"\njobs:\n  check-exodus:\n    runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n    steps:\n      - name: Import CSV to Mastodon\n        uses: potatoqualitee/influx@v1\n        with:\n            server: tech.lgbt\n            file-path: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dataplat/mastodon/main/dataplat/mastodon-import.csv, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dataplat/mastodon/main/powershell/mastodon-import.csv, https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dataplat/mastodon/main/powerbi/mastodon-import.csv\n        env:\n            ACCESS_TOKEN: \"${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}\"\n```\n\nCheck out the [Mastodon Influx](https://github.com/potatoqualitee/influx) docs for more information, including how easy it is to get a Matodon API key.\n\n# How are these lists created?\n\nThese lists were built using the [Twitter Exodus GitHub Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/twitter-exodus), which makes it easy to find Twitter friends on Mastodon.\n\nFor the Data Platform Community, check out the [dataplat.yml](https://github.com/potatoqualitee/exodus/blob/main/.github/workflows/dataplat.yml) workflow file. But basiacally, it checks\n\n```yaml\n# Check to see if these Twitter accounts have a Mastodon address yet\nspecific-twitter-accounts: DataGrillen, SQLBits, SQLServer, AzureSQL\n# Look for Mastodon addresses in accounts that follow these accounts\naccount-followers: DataGrillen, datasaturdays\n# Check to see who these accounts follow\naccounts-following: DataGrillen, SQLBits, AzureSQL, redgate\n# Check the members of these lists\nlist-members: \"1491474973998915587, 1569973251161616385\"\n# Check the followers of this list\nlist-followers: \"1569973251161616385\"\n# Check for people who are Tweeting about sqlfamily\nhashtags: \"#sqlfamily\"\n# include-private is set to false by default, but this is set to reassure people\ninclude-private: false\n```\n\nYou can also see how [PowerShell Community](https://github.com/potatoqualitee/exodus/blob/main/.github/workflows/powershell.yml) and the [Power BI Community](https://github.com/potatoqualitee/exodus/blob/main/.github/workflows/powerbi.yml) are checked.\n\n# We need help!\n\nAny JavaScript programmers available? We need to smash the Mastodon CSV files with Twitter CSV files to let people see, select, and export a filtered CSV if they wish. The Twitter CSV contains links to the person's profile pic (along with name, username, etc) so that could be used to make it easier for people to identify their Twitter friends.\n\nIt would be even cooler to allow them to specify their Mastodon server then automatically make Follow buttons that let them just go down the list and add who they want with the click of a button.\n\nMaybe it could even ask for their API and check to see if they're already friends and that follow button would be grayed out.\n\nWe could put all of this online using GitHub Pages.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdataplat%2Fmastodon","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdataplat%2Fmastodon","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdataplat%2Fmastodon/lists"}
