@inspired Sorry about that. There must be something about the different instances and how they communicate, or not. The direct link to the post by @djnavarro https://blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2022-11-03_what-i-know-about-mastodon/

Here's my blog entry about moving from Twitter to Mastodon
It has a couple of salty notes in that people might enjoy, plus first impressions and some thoughts on stuff I plan to do with the Mastodon API https://simonwillison.net/2022/Nov/5/mastodon/
@jacklowe welcome to the new world Jack. Where currently home streams seem curated and not full of promoted tweets and tweets from people you don't follow 😆
This morning I have mostly been reveling in the fact the Mrs declared she didn't have jetlag, then her and the kids all went to sleep past mightnight last night and woke up at 9:45am by my alarm 😁
They are currently catching up on a million strictly come dancings as zombies in front of the TV.

@Ryanteck Engagement on Twitter is impossibly hard. I keep noticing how few of the folks who I actually engage with turn up on my Twitter feed. I keep having to search for people to see if they're still active and then I find their last tweet was like 20 minutes ago.... Its not like I follow 10,000 people.
Sad day on the old electricity meter, post holiday washing 😩
Got a cool shot when I got to take the family on a tour of NASA JPL. The kids stood in front of the color by numbers "image" taken by Mariner 4 in 1965 and hand coloured by impatient JPL scientists who wanted to see what Mars looked like. https://gizmodo.com/this-paint-by-numbers-drawing-was-the-very-first-image-1687904838
