Hi All, it's been a couple of days since I have Mastodon, but I haven't introduced myself. I'm from Tamilnadu, India and I'm and IT professional. My interests are astro physics, food, superbikes, nature and animals. I'm trying out veganism for the past 10 days and I feel good that I'm not hurting any animals. I am having a good time on Mastodon. Hope to engage with more people here #introduction #india
@raining_night Nicely done. 😄
Welcome. Do we call you Raining Night, or maybe RN for short?
I am using the same handle I did on birdsite, but kind of regret not taking advantage of a short nick that can be easily grabbed here.
Might help when people want to post and include you with an @ sign.
@design_RG ah.. hadn't thought about that. Yes, a shorter handle would've been convenient for others while mentioning me. Is there a possibility in Mastodon to change the handle like the birdsite?
Yes you can call me RN 😃
@raining_night Ok, will do, maybe add the RN in your profile where it says Name (mine shows Rob G.).
Regarding changing the user handle, I don't know - and it's a good question. Would be useful if possible.
We could ask the boss, @freemo
🇳🇱
Not really but you can create a new account and migrate. It will forward users to your new account
@freemo @raining_night Thank you, that was quick! 😃
@freemo @design_RG what would happen to my followers? 🥺
They would have to re-follow you, but people you follow you can import.
I am told in v3.0, which we upgrade to soon hopefully, you can even take your followers with you, I havent confirmed this though.
@freemo @raining_night Oooh... Upgrada, nice.
But are we going to have that new Tilled Feed view? I find that confusing. Like the one on MS itself, already at v.3.01
