here's a free tip for all the #TwitterMigration people:

mastodon ONLY has text search for your toots, and the toots of people you follow, nothing beyond that, so you MUST use hashtags for others to be able to find things you post. And don't be afraid to use them - unlike the hellsite, mastodon doesn't limit your reach in any way based on how many hashtags or links you use in your posts :)

oh, and there's an edit button too

Curious what it takes to create your own patterns for Lux Lavalier? It's easy, with the power of #Pixelblaze by ElectroMage!
We've added a tutorial that'll have you writing them in just a few lines, even if you've never written a single line of code!

For anyone who needs to fill their timeline with more quality content here's a list of #makers and #electronics people I have come across on the Fediverse who have been active at some point in the last few months.

Apologies to anyone I've missed - please add yourselves in a comment!

Today is answering press inquiries, helping old users get back into their accounts, and trying to make sure our infrastructure keeps up with the load.

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

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.

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!
