Manually finding and following migrated social media contacts across platforms is time-consuming and error-prone
Users switching from Twitter to Mastodon face significant friction when trying to reconnect with their existing network, as there's no automated way to discover which accounts they followed have Mastodon profiles and follow them. This creates a painful manual lookup process that causes users to lose touch with their network during platform migration, making the new platform feel isolated and incomplete.

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?...
