@Ksuds Done. And a happy Sunday to you!
@TheGentYYC thank you and ditto โค๏ธ
@Ksuds I'd normally respond with a cheers gif but that's currently beyond me
@TheGentYYC I would like to be added too. I'm in yeg.
@debholloway Done deal and a happy Sunday to you
@TheGentYYC Thank you very much. Have a good evening!
@TheGentYYC Hi! You can add me if you like. Happy Sunday to you!
@TheGentYYC I have hosted a Hometown/Mastodon server in #YYC since May 2017. I and the handful of regulars here are generally current and former Albertans. To my knowledge coales.co is the longest continually running mastodon instance in western Canada...at least it seems that way I...I wouldn't be surprised if someone corrected me lol.
@msh Sounds cool, though I confess I'm not really up to speed on servers and instances and all of the things yet
@msh Is there a master list of Albertans on your server that folks can follow?

@TheGentYYC I don't think there is a truly "master list" of *anything* in the fediverse  

Anyways a few of the active people on my server show up at https://coales.co/explore but many people choose to not appear there for privacy/safety reasons so I will defer to them to provide consent to be included in any lists.

Explore COALES.CO - Come Together!

Discover users based on their interests

Hometown hosted on coales.co
@TheGentYYC could you add me too, please and thank you?
@michpetersjones Happy to. Done! And a happy Sunday to you
@TheGentYYC I would like to be included with the thread

@TheGentYYC One interesting #Albertan I have not seen listed in your Big Thread of Albertans is @dansup who is the creator of #Pixelfed and a valuable contributor to the fediverse in general!

Pixelfed is to Instagram what Mastodon is to Twitter. It is a federation of independent servers focused on sharing photos. Not only that, it uses the same standard ActivityPub protocol as Mastodon so you can follow and interact with @[email protected] (his pixelfed account) even if you are on Mastodon!

@TheGentYYC
Hi folks, you may recall me from blogger and then twitter under the same handle.

@TheGentYYC please add me! Love to connect with like minded folks. ๐Ÿ™‚
@TheGentYYC Haven't figured out how to DM yet...
#AbMastodonians
@HyL @TheGentYYC So, this is gonna blow your mind (at least it did mine), but DM's are basically just like regular replies in a thread, but where you change the post privacy from "Public" (the little globe you see on almost every comment/reply) to "Mentioned people only" (shows a little envelope icon instead of a globe).
@TheGentYYC Surviving in AB. I would appreciate being added to the list.
