Seeing all the new folks arriving on Masto.

#Twitter #TwitterDown #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Fediverse

Hi new peeps!

For great Masto tips check @feditips

Hashtags help you get discovered AND find cool new posts.

Content warnings help others avoid sensitive topics and Alt Text provides context for blind and low-vision users, using them is very cool!

Beyond that, post as your heart desires!

If anyone pops to tell you "that's how we do things here", I reassure you they don't speak for everyone, mute/block and keep doing your thing.✌️

@fringemagnet I'm happy to Lee here ^w^
@fringemagnet he’s done this platform a massive favour, Twitter was my most used platform up until 3pm today and then I was sent this way.. I’m still trying to navigate the site but I’m sure I’ll figure it out

@leprev76 You will, it's new and might be confusing at first but you get the hang of it pretty fast. I joined last November and after a bit never looked back.

If you want a more Twitter-like interface for mastodon signing in via https://elk.zone/ is a good option. Also, hashtags here are a huge help in discoverability and getting to find people with common interests.

@fringemagnet thank you I’ll keep working on my usage, it’s taken me 36 mins to discover this reply. I’m hoping to be fully operational by tomorrow
@fringemagnet The way it’s going on the good ol’ bird app, I’ll be around these parts more. 🫢🏻🫠

Last weekend glasgow.social had some issues. @neil was that just instance related, or Mastodon related?
@TomWatson @fringemagnet Hmm, we did have some downtime on Sunday morning - it was related to an out of disk space error (which was unexpected as we still had 100gb free on our root drive). A reboot fixed it. I wasn't able to get a real answer from the logs as to why it happened. I put it down to some sort of AWS Volume glitch which caused the root volume to remount read-only. I've been keeping an eye on it - hasn't reappeared. That's been our only downtime this year.
