Alpaca getting into a taxi like it's done it a hundred times before.
It's what the internet is for....

I think I'm starting to get how mastodon works now.
We just post about how other people should use mastodon right?
@futureisfoss @frankie @tio @josh isn’t it just 😂
@sinabhfuil anyways it’s great to see you over here 👈😎

@sinabhfuil yes but give it a chance. The servers compared to the bird app’s must be like comparing a 486 to a Cray. But we paid for that speed with our data.

Y’all, if you’re getting frustrated you’re not seeing the content you want to like news or intel you need on Mastodon, you really need to shift your thinking from algorithmic social media. Follower counts don’t matter much here. Likes do not matter to post reach. Without your interaction, you will just see a live FIFO firehose. Some quick fixes:
Hashtag your posts liberally and consistently, and follow key hashtags of interest to you. Hashtags matter a ton here to being seen.
Follow and also alert on accounts you always want to see content from.
Consider using the built in RSS feature for your feeds and for specific hashtags.
Consider switching to the more advanced UI in your preferences, so you can watch multiple filtered and unfiltered feeds. Or a different mobile app.
Use Fedifinder to follow all the accounts you followed on Twitter, and sync up your follow and block lists.
Avail yourself of the multiple public lists of hundreds of journalist accounts on Mastodon.

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.
@Ciaraioch I received your beautiful artwork today. It arrived in perfect condition in lovingly personalised packing with its free gift. The Giclée print quality and paper stock is amazing. It's destined to be framed as a Christmas presser for the missus. She has lost both her Mum and Dad now and the hearth in your painting is so quintessentially Irish it could be their very own. The details like the memorial cards and Brigid's cross tucked behind the picture, the improvised turf bucket, discarded stick and promotional calendar, are all features of the Irish hearth, which will all but have died out with Generation Z in favour of the Big Telly / games console. Thank you, GRMMA, blessings. Alan.

There are prints inspired by Irish folklore and mythology, wildlife, Gaeilge, Irish rebels, Irish women's history, feminism, cartoons, and more, including limited edition linocut prints.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh as an tacaíocht!

Hello, we have a new profile here and intend to stop updating our Twitter.
Codefreeze is an #unconference that takes place every January in #Lapland, Finland with very little structure. Actually, it’s not a conference at all. Codefreeze is a time and place for software craftspeople to meet. We would like to have like-minded people to gather in one place and have long conversations about our craft over a drink. And to practice our coding skills.
