My campaign to promote #fediverse on birdsite is working. Jack wants federation I hear?

Add your home instance address to your TW profile if you use it.

@realcaseyrollins They have an extensive About this Instance.

@realcaseyrollins Twitter Jack has mumbler something about federating, have you heard? It's the trending talk all over town.

@Tmo Hey, Tmo, good tastes. 😉

Welcome, friend. Don't know if you need a guide to mastodon, but just in case...

If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235

We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator

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

Have a good day!

@dublinux@mastodon.technology I think those are good ideas.

I have found a nice home right from the start, but many might not be so lucky.

I had an idea and made a few posts about it -- that maybe we could start a Rate My Instance thing.

Like the kids do have Rate My Teacher, other people Rate My Doctor.

My posts can be found in the #RateMyInstance tag.

Take a look at this post - it has some quick pointers for new users.

A nice one is to look for the FollowFriday hash tag; people do post suggestions on good accounts to follow.

@punkymcmunky There's a lot to see and do. I haven't even been reading the news like I lways used to.

Learning new things, there's Mastodon, where we are here, plus other projects.

To share video, like YT. To share music, photos, blog writings.

Each instance is independant and has it's own theme, rules and 'feel'.

Ours here is sci tech eng math, but not strictly enforced as mandatory for each post.

I volunteered for a moderation job that is opening now, and have been nominated by our sys admin, @freemo, Dr Freeman in civilian life.

@punkymcmunky There is a lot to discover on the fediverse, I have been here full time since I started about a month ago, love it.

Got about 4 times the number of posts here, in one month, that I had on twitter, since 2011.

Still sad to even check there, people don't react at all, too much going on.

Here is much more friendly and fun, there are knowledgeable people to talk to. Great place for geeks like us.

@namark
OMG, those little wheels will be deadly in any cracks in the pavement. Saw a lot of tourists renting them in Lisbon, and we had to keep an eye up and stay off their way on the sidewalks sometimes.

I almost wiped out on my fully loaded touring bike there, on a slick marble curb - right in front of the beautiful river Tejo.

Glad I didn't fall, it was heavy and the pavement was all granite.

@freemo @jahnke

@Techdestroyer

Ah, you came together, cool. 😄

I invited Punky via penpal letter, #Slowly app, glad you two made it. This is a great instance to be.

Welcome!

Hei, Friend --- Glad you made it! 😃

(we penpals... 😛 diff username here, same guy. Glad you came.)

@freemo Wonderful, well done!

Have a good sleep! 🌃

@freemo @jahnke Nice folding bike, specially in Stealth Black. I like it.

Into cycling myself too, although if I wanted to ride today/tonight, I would need a Fat Bike, we got about 15 cm of snow fall today.

I do bicycle touring as well, although it's been a while since the last trip. Love getting to new places.

@freemo @Heavenlybliss Hello, very nice photo.

@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! 😃
