Hi, my name is Max Reinhold Jahnke. I'm 34, and I'm a mathematician from São Carlos, Brazil. The main reason I'm here is to write about my hobbies and connect with new people. I love #mathematics, #reading, #writing, #learning foreign #languages, watching TV shows, and playing video games.
I'm a post-doctoral researcher at the Federal University of São Carlos, and my research field is Partial Differential Equations. I will stop here because I don't want to scare anyone.
I usually read science, fiction, and fantasy. My favorite authors are H.P. Lovecraft, G.R.R. Martin, and V.S. Vinge. Now I'm reading the series The Expansion, and I'm loving it.
As I said, I like to learn foreign languages. Some years ago, I studied a little #Esperanto, but I didn't reach a high level. I can read the Esperanto Wikipedia and some news in Esperanto, but can't speak the language.
I'm always learning. Usually, it is mathematics and languages, but I also like to learn about other cultures, science, and technology. Most recently, I began learning how to bake bread, my main interest is in #baking #sourdough.
@jahnke Nice posts, Max, our administrator here, Dr Freeman, will enjoy seeing them and chatting with you. He loves Math as well.
It's early hours of the morning where he lives (Europe), but he will be around in a few hours.
The hashtags you used can be ways to locate people with similar interests too.
Sometimes things are surprisingly quiet here, and I go out and looking for conversation in other instances, or stay right here but monitor and participate in the Home and Federated feeds.
The Home feed is populated with posts from people you do follow, so it's empty at first, but soon starts getting busy if you find interesting people to follow.
Their posts, and the ones from others but that they boost (same as a retweet) all show up in Home feed.
Federated feed is all the posts from all the people anyone here at Qoto follows - so there are many, many posts and it scrolls very quickly.
Suggestion for finding interesting people to follow? Monitor the Local feed, our own users post there, interact with any you find a bit interesting.
Also, look for the hash tags of people suggesting people to follow -- #FF and #FollowFriday are always popular, and you will see posts from all kids of places show up.
Stick around and soon you will be amazed how much happens, how many interesting things we can learn and go on to investigate more.
@manav Hello Manav! 😄
