Sending from !GNUsocial to !Twitter requires that your !GS instance is running the #Twitterbridge plugin. Check with @neadmin. The Twitterbridge is not well supported, since Twitter keeps changing its API. Inbound Twitterbridge messages tend to create resource issues on GS (several well-connected Twitter users can flood the GS database with Twitter messages), and Twitter doesn't play well with software that tries to show its messages outside of its own environment. Twitter is like the roach motel of microblogging: Messages can go in, but they can't come out.

That is, check with @n2admin@n2.federati.net to see if https://n2.federati.net is running the #Twitterbridge plugin. If it is, on the !GNUsocial Settings page there will be a Twitter item where you can set the connection between your !GS and your !Twitter account.

!GNUsocial uses the !OStatus protocol for federated communication. I believe !Diaspora partly implements OStatus, so a GNUsocial user can subscribe to a Diaspora users, but a Diaspora user cannot follow a GNUsocial user. I believe !Friendica does a better job than Diaspora of implementing both the OStatus and Diaspora protocols, so there may be people who use Friendica as their central social network, then federate that to GNUsocial and Diaspora, and maybe even Twitter. Join the !GNUsocial, !Diaspora, !Friendica and !OStatus groups and you'll get better information than I can supply. I don't (yet) run Friendica, but I'll set it up once I collect my Copious Free Time.
