Feeling better and better about being in the #GreatMastodonMigration. I just got my copy of the hot off the presses #MastodonForDummies.

It's OUTSTANDING (as all the For Dummies #books actually are in my experience).

If, like I was, you are still fumbling around with the instances, the differences to the #birdsite and secretly missing it (while also loathing it), this is how to make your new home cozy and friendly.

And put the #muskrat in the rear view once and for all.

@alexbayleaf Kia ora! I noticed we had some interests in common. :) At this point in the #GreatMastodonMigration the advice seems to be to follow freely to expand the range of voices you hear.
Ok it was clearly an issue happening because of the #GreatMastodonMigration … I have so much to learn about #Mastodon 😅
Yes, yes. I know we're in the middle of the #greatmastodonmigration and it's absolute chaos out there, but how about a happy little rest for your eyes? #yarn #knitting
@mattjhodgkinson @lizziegadd the way I understand this so far, is that the community nature of different servers (and thus the relevancy of the "Local" feed) was maybe more pronounced and salient before the #GreatMastodonMigration: communities that grew gradually and organically around shared interest. That is a different thing entirely, more like the ancient usenet groups than what the birdsite is/was.
