Hello Mastodon/Qoto hoping there will be some interesting conversations here and less meglomaniacs pretending they're the savior of humanity.
Been doing web development for almost 20 years, currently working with #Typescript / #Javascript, #MongoDB, #Neo4j, #Angular, and #NestJs.
I'm interested in #Philosophy, #Politics, #History, #Complexity, #Physics, and #ComputerScience.
I have thoughts on #collapse and our current moment, but I'm feeling gluttonous at almost 500 chars for my first toot.
@gooseus Welcome, sometimes I feel like I can’t even save myself. :) Love to see devs joining qoto!
I am just starting out in embedded software dev, but when I get some free time I would really like to learn the web of things!
@derickflorian @gooseus
Glad to see more joining #qoto , one of the most-federated instances in the fediverse. Qoto has a reeeeeally large character limit and features/services others may not. Keep in mind that not all content you will see in your timeline(TL) will correlate with the views of others you're connected to. This is where one of the more common features other instances have as well- blocking. Blocking someone or another server does not impact others you are federated with, but gives you control over your own feed.
If you have any questions, I can try to help or at least point you in a general direction.
@lucifargundam @derickflorian yeah, def seems like there is a lot more to learn and understand in this federated social space.
Any recommendations for quality of life improvement settings or tips/tricks for using features like Groups, Lists, etc. for managing signal/noise?
@gooseus @derickflorian
I think the most important thing most servers will suggest will be to get familiar with how local/global timelines work and how to block users/servers per your personal preference.
Qoto has plenty of optional features that may take time to learn, but more can possibly (not guaranteed) be requested. Sometimes the admin might be kind enough to add requested emotes 
If you have any specific questions, I can _try_ to walk you through them.
