I am particularly fond of seeing accounts that tried the fediverse out in the past but then went silent come back.

I enjoy seeing new users, too, but seeing someone come back to give the 'verse another try feels like a bigger win, like there's something so compelling here that it lingers in peoples' subconscious or something.

So, if you were here, left, and now lurk, don't be afraid to chime in once in a while - I'm glad you're here, and I know I'm not alone.

New package 🎉

Finding new people to follow is hard for newbies on any platform. I'm hoping that #Trunk can help. What I need is people volunteering to be on lists so newbies can follow a bunch of people right away. Please reply to this post if you agree to be on a list. Feel free to suggest new lists that I haven't thought of. (Living in my own filter bubble, I know!) Please boost!

Also looking for more lists. 😃

🚨 FEDIVERSE BOT GENERATOR 🚨

https://glitch.com/edit/#!/fediverse-bot

I currently consider to give away 3 times 10 GB of storage on my Nextcloud instance.

Build to be integrated with #Fedora setups. But of course also usable with other distros as well.

If you are interested, let's talk :)

Mastodon is a piece of software, not a network. The federated network itself still needs a good brand so we can talk about it without saying all the things that make it up, or using the names of the underlying protocols.

@sikkdays You have no things.

When I removed Twitter from my phone, I put a meditation app (Oak) in its place on my home screen.

Now, every time I tap the app out of habit, I do a breathing exercise instead of read shitty news.

Your feed URL is [instance]/users/[username].rss or .atom, for example I have https://mastodon.social/users/brownpau.rss
