@kristinmbranson or anyone on @qoto.org - do you know how to discover other interesting blogs from the #qoto server? I joined this server for generally interesting networking with STEM and other scholars. But I’m, for now, only seeing within neuroscience peeps.
@deeMahishi @qoto.org I started by looking at the following lists of a few people. I've just been adding lots of people to follow. I just "boosted" your intro post, hopefully people will follow you and then you can follow back? You can search by hashtag with the search box, eg #neuroscience, #womeninstem. The only subject relevant servers I know are @drosophila.social for droso (mostly neurobio?), @sigmoid.social for ML, and @dair-community.social for AI ethics. At least the way I used Twitter, my feed was mainly just people I followed, so that's mostly what I'm doing here so far. @NicoleCRust, and @albertcardona seem to know better what's going on, maybe have some suggestions?
@kristinmbranson @qoto.org @NicoleCRust @albertcardona Thanks! Yess - I was quite drawn by the general intro for the qoto server. So was curious how I could explore all the blogs of the server. But I’m seeing a fresh, new outlook of my migratory bird community already here! Loving it!
@deeMahishi @qoto.org @albertcardona oh I see! Yes, the "local" time-line is what you want to look at. I'm appreciating it because there's a mix of both academic, industry, citizen scientists & engineers to hear from, all enthusiastic about stem!
@kristinmbranson @qoto.org I spent some time exploring qoto TL and boy was it a sweet ride. Mastodon >> Twitter for me so far (still being cautiously optimistic). Thanks for amplifying this server for migration!
@kristinmbranson @deeMahishi @qoto.org @NicoleCRust If you open in a browser, to the right there’s a list of links, some of them are to explore all posts within qoto.org (the “local” feed) and another for all posts of people followed by accounts within qoto.org (the “federated” feed). Also the search autosuggests hashtags after typing a fee characters, that helps too. What I’ve also been doing is reading through the list of following of people I’m interested in to see who did they find. It’s all quite bespoke and random search so far, I’m no expert on #mastodon.
@albertcardona @kristinmbranson @qoto.org @NicoleCRust perfect, found it. thanks @albertcardona !
@deeMahishi @kristinmbranson @qoto.org neuroscience peeps are everywhere!! In twitter all I see was neuroscience conferences.
