Hello Mastodon! I'm new here and trying to figure it all out. Interested in connecting with other politically active folks, as well as people interested in vet med, natural history, climate action, equity, etc.
@JSA this instance is really not the most political around. But if you have photos of socialist cats or left wing dogs, that'll do.
@Lily_and_Frog
Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how Mastodon works. Can you join more than one instance?

@JSA I think it's possible. There's a quick explainer in the middle of that article

https://www.thecanary.co/feature/2022/11/17/the-canary-has-launched-a-mastodon-independent-media-server/

But I can't get my head round it yet (recovering from all nighter freelance work).

I know you can access other instance through a web browser (always use the browser version, the app is rubbish), just type the name of the instance in the address bar.

You can also create multiple accounts using different emails, as I used to do on the bird site.

Hope this help.

The Canary has launched a Mastodon independent media server

Who needs the corporate overlords of Twitter when you've got Mastodon - especially with the Canary's new server already available?

@JSA oh! I just discovered you can sign up to different instances using the same email. Of course, they'll be completely separate accounts, but it could be useful if you want to keep activism separate from talking about hobbies.
@JSA having said that, socialist cats are really uncommon. As I've heard before, cats tend to be libertarian: Fiercely convinced of their independence while being totally reliant on a system they despise and cannot comprehend!
