Hello world! Posting my first... toot? on this new account -- I'd heard about Mastodon in passing quite a while ago, but only recently decided to look at it in more detail, and am really liking it so far -- the idea of a decentralized social network built on open source software is super intriguing to me. Looking forward to browsing on here more, and probably posting about game development and programming related things :)
@design_RG Thanks for the warm welcome! Yep I'm super new to Mastodon, to the point where beginners guides are still helpful and informative haha. Thanks for sharing these :)
@devharts You are very welcome, Sarah. And I am glad you found the guides useful - the first one is the one I found on a search and used when I first joined mastodon, in November, last year. An excellent guide, I re-read it the other day and still find it one of the best I have seen.
Any questions, feel free to ask! 😃
welcome. hope you will enjoy here!
@Sphinx Thanks!! :)

@devharts I'm working on a game prototype too. Looking forward to see what you're working on!
@7pawn Thanks!! :D What kind of game prototype are you working on out of curiosity?
@devharts it's very simple technically. Just a side scrolling platformer with an original gameboy palette and 16x16 sprites. I'll be posting pictures when I'm ready.
@7pawn Neat, I'll be looking forward to seeing more about it :)
