SupertanskiiiMy face whilst trying to figure out Mastadon.
Tried to upload a photo but that doesn’t seem to work either. Great.
This place makes me feel like an old man that yells at clouds and I’m not technologically inept in the slightest.
Remz@Supertanskiii Most probably the server where you're registered that can't handle the recent wave of new users. You can always try to move to a new one or wait for your admin to upgrade the current one
@remz it amazes me that they expect lay people to even understand the server madness tbh. It’s needlessly complicated
Nick@remz @Supertanskiii it’s not *needlessly* complicated, it’s decentralised.
The analogy is thrown around a lot but it’s really not much different to how emails work; you have a name at a server/host and people who follow you and people you follow *may* be on different servers.
Is it harder to find people? Yes: it doesn’t have the ability to suggest people to you like Twitter does. But once you follow someone, you’ll see their “toots” in your feed.
