*banned 4 MarkDown love* @design_RG@qoto.org

@Curator Rheal, thank you for the work you put into creating this Guide.

I took the liberty to copy all of your toots into a Blog post, which is located here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator

I am still polishing it up, would like to make some image adjustments, but your guide is there in full.

Hope it will be useful to others - I am also using it and suggesting as a reading for new users at Qoto.org.

Thank you! 😃

@SamD Hello Sam and welcome to Qoto.

We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://discourse.qoto.org/t/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator/119

Any question, just ask, and someone will try and help out.

Have a good day!

@maison_faim Forgot the link, for our readers, dooh.

@maison_faim Looking at he book page and it seems interesting!

Thank you for the suggestion. 😉

@maison_faim That makes it harder next day, but maybe it's a phase you have to go thru.

Sometimes the stars align in certain ways. I do receive a good personal horoscope and it seems to make sense, even if I don't read it everytime there's a new note, it seems to align with what goes on with me.

@maison_faim I was assuming it meant "House of Hunger", in French.

@maison_faim I do my best work in the mornings, and wake up with the light in the window.

If I stay up late, I end up with short sleep hours, since I will get up early next day again.

But I can relate to the night owl style, my son is like that. Very quiet late a night, and can be productive for concentration and work.

@realcaseyrollins @shibaprasad @zevahs Nokia models are wonderful. All kinds of size, and good prices for them too.

@maison_faim @realcaseyrollins I hope so.

@missmolamola Just for laughs, I thought about her post as soon as I saw yours above.

Moto X4 is supported by Lineage : https://download.lineageos.org/payton

@realcaseyrollins @maison_faim Hope things better for you, Maison.

Sometimes it does get bleak, but change always happen. So, it will pass, good or bad.

Cheers, friend.

@realcaseyrollins Samsung has a BAD reputation for providing user support. I would avoid them, myself.

There are some smaller manufacturers that have monthly updates and offer good products. I am note sure, but I think a brand was Android One.

I use a Xiao Mi Note 5 Prime and am quite happy with it. Not sold in US, but a big leader in the markets they are active on, got mine in Europe.

https://mi.com for details.

Great quality and features, customized UI (MIUI, currently v.11), good prices. No wonder they sell out quick in Europe.

@missmolamola You are welcome. Have you used Mastodon before?

I have only been here for a month myself.

Just remembered - there is another guide, I made a Forum post for it here: https://discourse.qoto.org/t/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator/119

@missmolamola LOL.... 😜

Sorry but too late now. It's been that way for maybe 2 years at least.

Welcome, Miss MM.

@realcaseyrollins Well, because it is in fact.

Not my favourite, but Android is a mess of many small manufacturers, cutting costs and not supporting product with much needed security updates.

As much as I think iOS is VERY retrograde in terms of UI, Apple does a good job of supporting their devices - with patch releases and yearly full iOS new versions for at least 3 years from each model's launch.

Even large manufacturers like Samsung are very slow in providing security updates which should be a regular thing.

Very few options in Android devices that have more frequent and better support.

@realcaseyrollins US only offer, available with Amazon Music subscription.

The Yahoo site on the link is quite annoying.
