I started here that same week, brought on by a BBC article talking about all the Indian users deserting twitter to this new mastodon network. Woot? Bing'd it.
Found https://joinmastodon.org, and from their list Qoto seemed the best fit for me.
So glad I got here and not in some crazy instance, either too big, too weird or too porny for me.
If I has started at the Mothership (masto social, the big one), I probably wouldn't have lasted 2 days or so.
Still find it hard there, although finally got my account launched - went to ask Gargron something.

Tweaking things is good, I do get a thrill when I can shave off Bytes from my images by selecting the formats, maybe crop a bit more. Sometimes it's .png that does best, others .jpeg is tighter.
And then I remember the next day that people are really wasting most of the bandwidth of the net with videos, argh.
But I like to do my best, tight, clean, as small as possible.
@realcaseyrollins @counterculture
I would suggest breaking it up into sequential posts, possibly?
I like the simplicity of write.freely.
If you like more controls and lots of tools and options, maybe WordPress?
They also are fediverse aware and there are some instances listed at https://fediverse.network
@Sphinx
When did you start here, Sphinx?
That's nice that you were welcomed by Dave, I see that as an important part of a staff member. Building community is more important than playing the cop when needed.
@Sphinx The time stamp in the code is from 2008.
There's lots of things that have changed, many of the img align tags have been deprecated too.
Found a nice site with www documentation earlier this week.
Have been enjoying the @slowlyapp app for six months now. Besides great writing and reading, the app is so well designed, as are the awesome stamps we get to use to send our letters #slowly around the Planet.
#penpals rejoice, we got a home now. #xp #friendship #writers #love
Christmas Season is on, and a good #penpal friend just surprised me today -- by sending a nice gift.
Thank you! #slowly is for #writers and #friendship . #xp to #Fediverse @_lunawinters
@Surasanji Ah, that's a pity but understandable Dave. Hope you stick around and post some here too.
If I was traveling I wouldn't be able to spend as much time here either, but with the Winter blahs it's a wonderful place to be in.
Cheers! 🍾 🥂
@realcaseyrollins @counterculture Just visited again, and the images look right now.
You do have a lot of inline Video boxes, and maybe could break the post into two or three pages - they will load faster and smoother without so many calls to YT at once.
Header at the top of the page, I would lighten the size down a notch, possibly?
@realcaseyrollins @counterculture
You are welcome, glad you don't mind my suggestion and comment.
I will have to go and look it up again.
Do you need to use all that armament to prep a post? I only use #MarkDown commands, and it results in some nice pages.
Manually size the images to my liking, and replace them if they look wrong size.

Wonderful when things work and look good at the end of a work day. Leads to happy and restful sleep.
Well done!

@angelobottone Well done, Angelo, congratulations! 👍
Another NEAT idea I found just now.
"This is fantastic. #vscode now adds "mirror cursors" so you can edit opening and closing HTML tags at the same time, no extra keystrokes required. 💛
