@kaasiand Yep, je bent zeker niet de enige, da's gewoon een van die cultuurverschillen waar mensen even aan moeten wennen :)
Advanced Timeline
@Amaterasu112 Hee, ik ben beroemd!! :p
@kaasiand Wereld van verschil inderdaad :) Twitter Web is echt zo ongelooflijk gaar, die emoji picker doet er ook altijd 10 seconden over om te laden...
(Overigens kun je woorden op Mastodon beter niet censureren met sterretjes - namesearching is niet echt een ding hier, en een hoop mensen gebruiken muted keywords om bepaalde onderwerpen te vermijden en dat werkt dan niet)
@kaasiand Of toottoots
I really miss the Ambassador bots, they were so good and useful for getting good posts into diverse federated timelines. 😭 Can we have those back please?
[ Context: An instance, let's say example.flowers.social, would have an Ambassador bot that RTed any public post from that instance that got over the average number of likes. If I on another instance followed that Ambassador bot, then all the good posts from that instance would also be shared into my instance's federated timeline. ]
Asking "how do I find people to follow" around here is a bit like asking "how do I find people to email" or "how do I find penpals" - people come up with ingenious ways to find each other within and outside of a decentralised system.
A good way to find cool people on the Fediverse itself is posting something like "boost if you like [hobby], I want to find people to follow," ideally including a couple of hashtags. Instant list of active users with similar interests. :D
If you're new to the Fediverse, here's what made the platform work for me: aggressively following and unfollowing new people.
Whatever standards you've built up on Twitter for deciding to follow someone, throw them out the window. Follow someone because they made a funny or insightful post. Follow someone because their bio says they like pesto. Follow someone because they have a cute fursona. Anything really.
Following is free. And if it doesn't work out, unfollowing is also free.
@Mirteaaa Check your notification settings and see whether they're set up correctly? Eg. you might've accidentally turned off notification display entirely when trying to disable notification sounds?
@f0x Yeah I can't be sure either, but I feel like it's happened twice now. No way to tell after the fact whether it was Mastodon or my brain bugging out :p
@Clipsey @f0x Yep, was mumbling about exactly that earlier today: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91/108197269317929891
In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
