#BlackMastodon if you’re wanting to find one another, we have to boost one another. Not unlike twitter’s early years, it took awhile for people to find one another. It doesn’t help that the desktop version has more features, is a bit easier to navigate than using some of the mobile apps — at least on the #iOS side. (Remember, that was a shortcoming on early twitter too.) It’ll happen. #BlackTwitter #twitterMigration

Updating hashtags:
#BlackMastOdon (w/ an O not A)
#BlackTwitter
#BlackFediverse #BlackFedi
#BlackAcademics #BlackDiaspora #BlackAndSTEM
#TwitterMigration #Introductions #BlackInSTEM #Blerd
Am sure I’m missing many..feel free to add. 😀

Also #MetaText appears to be a better #iOS mobile app until the official app is updated. Otherwise, the desktop web has the best GUI, imo.

Hashtags appear to be the best way to find people by topic, interest etc. Glad to see familiar AND new faces! 😀👋🏽

@dinkyshop I agree with #MetaText for free #ios mastodon #app. Decided to pay for #Toot! today and it’s now my favorite paid app for #iPad.

@dinkyshop what is Fedi?
Show threadDinkyShop Nov 8, 2022

@zhivi It's short for #Fediverse (or Federation as a protocol that Mastodon is built upon).

Hey there everyone! 👋 Please have a look at my website because it will probably answer a lot of your questions about how to use Mastodon and the Fediverse: ➡️ https://fedi.tips If you're recommending me as a follow to others, it would be great if you could mention the site too so that new people get help straight away. I am getting repeating questions that are already answered on the website, so it would help a LOT if you could tell new people about the site as well as my account! 😅

@zhivi thank you! It took us a few years to make Twitter what it was. I’m guessing #blackmastodon and this #federated timeline will get us closer to that a wee bit faster. I’m guessing #blackFedi might reference federated timeline. 🤔
