Figured I'd check in to Mastadon via qoto . Build up and find a new environment for the case that either Twitter degrades or find a new community that's better.
I went from mIRC > Reddit > Twitter > Mastadon following better conversations. We'll see if this is a place for me.
@chattwjonathan I'm finding this more challenging than Twitter for quick-scanning and picking out interesting Tweets. I hope you do find this a place for you. You're my first conversation here.
@orcmid I agree so far.
Mobile app is particularly hard to navigate to point at the right place and search seems a tad off. But what I'm reading is very interesting. I'm intrigued but not hooked.
Feels like a very early version of Reddit.
Reddit really took off once a few communities gelled, and started to be propped up by a few that you were auto subscribed to when you joined to give you a place to start.
Going to post random stuff but maybe try to develop a basic word as a hashtag
@chattwjonathan This reminds me of RSS but without the aggregation and quick review that clients like Feed Demon provided. I would prefer restoration of something like that. I have no idea whether he Mastodon APIs and protocols would support it. (I still have FeedDemon installed, but rarely check it and the accumulation of unread articles is immense. Twitter and the disappearance of blogging tore me away :).
