For real, though, when I was new to the Fediverse (and, to be fair, it was a slightly different Fediverse back then), one of the more frustrating things was people explaining the Fediverse by comparing it to Twitter, so I, having never used Twitter, had to figure out what, like, the various Twitter conventions were in order to be on the Fediverse.

you don't need kubernetes, you're not google scale and you shouldn't aspire to be

This is a joke about Fedi culture
Anyway, welcome to Fedi, which basically means you signed up to become a member of a local anarchist collective, you have been given a fursona, and you've been assigned an episode of Deep Space Nine to write a 1500 word essay on (yes this will be on the quiz)

Hello new people! A friendly reminder that image descriptions help make this site accessible to all sorts of people! They can be as short or as descriptive as you want them to be, but including them with your visual posts is important.

Whoa. Hang on.
We're not ruled by corporate overlords any more.
That means I can say...

A sincere tip for longtime fediverse people who would like their friends to stick around here longer than a week:
If you're on Mastodon or Hometown, you can click the "bell" icon in the profile of someone you follow. This will make it so that every time they post, it will appear in your notifications like an "@". I am enabling this temporarily for friends so that I remember to interact with them. This is important for making this place feel more lively and helps people stick around!

new people I do promise that outside of new user influxes, we do talk about stuff other than just activitypub design and how twitter is bad, like, uhhh, jorts and meowing

listen, i'm glad everyone is here/back but platform metacommentary alone won't be enough to make this stick. you need to start posting inane nonsense
what did you eat today. did you see any cool bugs

Don't you love it when you do the first 90% of the problem in planning only to find out there's another 90% of the problem left in finding out what the problem actually is and yet another 90% implementing it
Sure, package management is hard, but have you ever tried *packaging* management with ADHD??

I find it kind of fascinating that there's a massive influx of new users to Mastodon and it seems that it's *not* a complete disaster. This is very rare for (comparatively) small communities! I'm very curious about why it's different from the usual "community norms overrun" in this case.

Next on my "Getting rid of Google" list is the calendar. Would like a cloud calendar that ideally is zero-knowledge. Which ones do you like?

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.
