FediFollows has moved!

Hello new people! 👋

I run a human-curated directory of interesting accounts to follow on here:

➡️ fedi.directory

Do you have an account that posts a lot about a particular topic? Would you like to be listed in the directory?

If so, reply or @ me or send me a DM and let me know!

(The site only went live a few days ago so some topics are less populated than others, but this is why I am working on expanding it!)

Boosts appreciated :blobcat:

I wanted to advertise a postdoc position in beautiful Norwich, that is for 3+2 years.
We are looking for a bioinformatician, or someone who wants to become one. In the post we will investigate gut metagenomes using 3rd gen sequencing, deep learning, to investigate pan genomes and microbial adaptation, mostly using human gut time series of various host ailments.

Please retoot or send to interested parties, thanks!

To further enrich your newsfeed, make use of the 'Domain Subscription' tool available under 'Follow and followers' selection at the lower left of your Profile page. If a bunch of people you follow have their profiles on another server, chances are that the local community is home to others sharing their interests. By entering a subscription to their server, the local newsfeed they receive will be shared in your feed. Over time, you will then be able to pick out others to follow and correspond with.

@kefir Follows and followers... then Domain subscribes... on the left menu (under Follows and subscriptions). Put in some domains (eg mastodon.me.uk or mastodon.ie) and choose either a List of the Home timeline. You will get the federated (public) timeline from the servers you add in the list or Home timeline. qoto.org is running modified Mastodon server software - the standard software doesn't have this useful feature.

@mrgeoffshumba In my early days with , I worked hard at hashtagging everything, but the ability to do full-text searches made it feel redundant for the way I tend to interact with these networks. However, you are absolutely spot on with their importance on . I'm going to need to relearn some old habits, and develop some new ones, e.g. figuring out the best instances for unlisting replies so as not to clutter threads unnecessarily.

Try this. Copied from Sharon Bairden
To help make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

Mastodon is is the 5th or 6th social media platform I've engaged with in a serious fashion, but it's been awhile since I had to start a profile from scratch. In the process I have relearned the one constant truth of all social media -- until you have accumulated at least 300-400 connections, the flow of information is going to seem skewed and limited, and you are going to wonder whether it is worth your time and effort.

Thus, echoing what others have said, you need to do more than just set up a profile and lurk, thinking an algorithm will direct information your way. You need to peruse the "Following" and "Follower" lists of people whose contributions you find interesting, then connect. Start with your local server and its Group and Profile directories (much easier to do from the web instance). Look for people you have followed on other platforms, and then look through their connections. The distributed nature of the fediverse (the so-called siloes that seem to cause a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth from people still clinging to twitter) can make it a bit more difficult to find and connect to people quickly, but patience will be rewarded. Take the time to dip into other people's timelines, and connect to those that maintain interesting and active feeds. You will quickly notice a perception of increased 'quality' in your newsfeed once you have a few hundred links.

Whole genome sequencing is now being performed in 83 children's hospitals in the US and Canada for sick newborns. While so much attention has been on the lowering of cost, [sample -> sequence-> output] can take as little as 3 hours. What about adults?erictopol.substack.com/p/clini

This news release from is a couple of weeks old and feels dated to me after having previously posted it over on the Avian site, but seems like a good idea to post here as part of my introduction to a new network.

One of my favorite surprises living in a house surrounded by mature native hardwoods. These oyster mushrooms sprouted from the trunk of an oak I left lying after it fell and clipped the house on Halloween 2015. I will miss this.
