Shameless plug: I created a browser extension to help transition to Mastodon[0]. If you don't yet feel like you can leave twitter.com, but want to explore alternatives it's a great way to get started. Essentially it injects Mastodon posts into your Twitter timeline, so you can retain your existing Twitter following while getting exposed to Mastodon.

I would think the other way around - moving to Mastodon and still being able to keep up with a select few from Twitter would be excellent. Could even allow replying to tweets and stuff if a browser extension. I wonder if there could be a way to handle messages from other systems as a first class message in mastodon while saying on twitter "a discussion about this tweet is happening on Mastodon: _link_".

  heh, you couldn't do it that way around without API access though!

    Scraping from within the browser should be possible no?

    Yeah, this is one of the reasons I decided against doing it this way. I also prefer the twitter UI to mastodon's default to be honest.

Love the example of elonjet being put back on the twitter feed!

  Thought it would make a nice (if a little risky) screenshot, glad you like it :)
