@jferg that seems like a big undertaking! I wish I were handy like that and good luck!

Quick tip: if you camelCase your hashtags, people who use screen readers will have an easier time with them.
So, for example: #twitterMigration or #TwitterMigration instead of #twittermigration
@twitnews @katherined @reality2cast I will have to checkout your podcast! Welcome, I just came over from Twitter last night.
I know nothing about web development but would like to learn some day. I am starting to learn embedded development and know Python the best. I am just starting to use C.

There has recently been a huge rush of people trying out Mastodon. I love it. This is also noticeable in the number of people reading my earlier Mastodon Guide. I wanted to take this opportunity to provide a brief list of usage tips that I wish I had at hand when first setting up my Mastodon home.
10 quick Mastodon tips:

@bigpesh yeah, it is different, but not in a bad way! My account is a day old and I wish made an account earlier. I am glad that I joined someone elses instance instead of hosting my own lol.
@bigpesh Awesome, great to see you over here! I am glad to reconnect with you!
@ColeOnRails Hello fellow former Twitter user! If you are looking to go to mobile dev I found Google’s Android basics in Kotlin really nice. I ended up finding an opportunity that dealt with Python at the time so I didn’t go past Unit 4.

@dev_Paul hell yeah! We bridged the divide!
@punkymcmunky Hello, punky!
@jande This was really well written and I appreciate the tips! I do like how my feed is people I’m following as opposed to random viral tweets.
@shrestha I’m glad that you switched too! I like the people I met on Twitter so now this feels like the best of both worlds.
@glassnerves I bought a cheap windows laptop to use the software my college requires for tests. I can’t wait to turn it into a Linux rig one day.

I am doing some tests on an embedded system with a very old version of Debian and GCC, I need tips on software that can compile on that system without much nonsense of requiring current versions of GCC or some LIBS, for now I have compiled the latest version of LUA.
Please boost!
