@zonarolo Yea, most mastodon servers only let you search on hashtags and not free text. As such hash tags are used a lot since its the best way to be seen in a search.
That said QOTO is somewhat unique (we arent the only ones) who allow free form text searches. We are also one of the oldest servers with an unpurged index. Meaning we are one of **very** few servers that lets you search back to the earlier days of the fediverse and has a very large portion of the entire fediverse history in our database.

To the newcomers to Mastodon and the Fediverse:
When you ask to follow someone that doesn't accept followers automatically, please have your profile filled out and some posts in your feed by you. I'm not going to follow anyone that hasn't taken the time to get their feet wet and write some posts, so I can know what you're about.

Living in the Forest of Dean in the UK with my Swedish wife, teenage daughter and a chocolate Labrador (my wife's #hearingdog).
Love music, play #guitar, enjoy tech, read a lot, write quite a lot.
Day job: I run a #Linux support and consultancy business.
Run a weekly music show on #Mixcloud. Wrote my own playout software in #python.

That's my #introduction - what's next?
New here. Tell me what I need to know.
📈 Donations through Liberapay have jumped up a bit this week, as hundreds of you have started financially supporting the Mastodon and other Fediverse instances you have accounts on. As a result, we've reached new all-time highs: the number of accounts actively giving or receiving money through Liberapay has crossed the 10k threshold, and the weekly sum of active donations has risen above €15k.
Hello all!
This account is for the LinkML project. LinkML is an open #DataModeling framework that allows you to easily add #semantics to your data. It can be used to build #DataStandards and #DataDistionaries that are linked to #Ontologies.
The LinkML framework also comes with a number of tools for a range of activities, from generating code (primarily #python), and interchanging between #JSON/#YAML, #RDF, and #RelationalDatabases.
You can find a guide to LinkML here https://linkml.io/linkml, and our main #GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/linkml/linkml
We are a friendly and welcoming community, join us!

Officially erased my bird site presence this morning and with it my associated contacts. I haven't seen a wide-scale migration yet of the #weather / #wxtwitter community, which accounted for half of my Twitter contacts.
As a sort of final #introduction post and calling card for the weather community, one of my primary uses of Twitter was to share my #WeatherPhotography and #storm reports. I'll probably continue to share weather and #climate content here! CW's as needed. Some of my faves below.
@marathon0 Interesting, some errors in this png:
Hubzilla is also a blog based on wordpress (that are spread on the fediverse)
Networking should have be wrote (micro-)blogging instead
Lemmy is a specific case as an alternative to Reddit.
Dokieli and Olkiare missing here, they are for scholar publication/review.
Beside Matrix ejabberd (jabber/XMPP) has also fediverse bridge
Gancio is a calendar for events
Is there someone that would create a itch.io like Fediverse tool, now there are lot of gamedev ? Itch.io is more and more restrictive on log in and only allow Youtube video.

For those like moi, who prefer to work in a terminal.

Toot can be found in most distro's. HTH ;-)
I don't have time to do it, but here is an appeal for #help from someone I know:
> #Help wanted: Code review for Mindfulness at the computer
Hi all, the design is now finally complete for the application Mindfulness at the computer which i have been working on as a hobby project for a long time. I’d like to do a #codereview and could use help from people experienced with one or both of the following:
- #Python (for #review of #backend or #frontend #code)
- #Qt, or #gui applications in general (for review of frontend code)
Are you willing to help out, or do you know of any programmers who could be interested?

Tried watching #Netflix's new show about the last #BlockBuster, especially because I like a number of the actors in it.
But they might as well just call it "Stereotypes: The Show".
It's *really* bad.
Meta: Bad Behavior
Phh, seeing people barging in from the birdsite and getting all edgy and snarky about the existing culture here is really annoying!
I could just block them all (and I still may); but is there a client that lets me automatically add a "CW: Jerk" to any post of theirs I happen across?
