I imported all my X/Twitter followed accounts from X to Mastodon by using #birdmakup (https://bird.makeup/). For anyone who wants to do the same in the least painful way, here is a short instruction:

Use these instructions to export your followed accounts to a .har file by using FireFox browser developer tools:

Tip: If you just keep pressing space, your entire following list should load in a few seconds.

Use a slightly modified jq query to export it to a .csv that is ready to import to Mastodon:

jq -r '.log.entries[] | .response.content.text | fromjson? | .data.user.result.timeline.timeline.instructions[-1].entries[] | .content.itemContent.user_results.result | values | ["Twitter", "@" + .legacy.screen_name + "@bird.makeup"] | @csv' following.har | tr -d '"' | awk -F, '{print $1 "," tolower($2)}' > following.csv

Use this instructions to import the .csv file:

That's it, you can now follow all the same accounts that you did on twitter via Mastodon. Neat.

Thanks to @Maijin for showing me Bird Makeup.

I also put these instructions on my GitHub:
