Here's what I learned by spending a weekend on #Mastodon and my attempt to explain @acw's 🍍. Please correct me if I'm wrong about anything and boost for any #newbie making #introduction #introductions. Also thanks to @Katharsisdrill @dredmorbius @nolan @markov & many more for #MastodonTips: https://medium.com/@qinaliu/what-i-wish-i-knew-before-joining-mastodon-7a17e7f12a2b
@qinaliu 🍍 awesome #article! This is the type of article I wish I read before I joined.
@abentleywrites Haha, me too. Seriously felt like I was in a special bizarro episode of "Black Mirror" until I figured out how Mastodon worked. Thanks for the 🍍
@qinaliu welcome! You know what I just realized?!? That replies are threaded. Gosh, it's like I just had an epiphany, or maybe an aneurysm.
@abentleywrites Is that something I should include in the guide? I figure that out right away, but was more confused by 🍍🍍🍍 and how instances and local and federated timelines worked
@qinaliu it might be worth a brief mention, since it wasn't obvious to me. I didn't realized it until I clicked on your toot. I'm using Amaroq on iPhone, so not sure if the experience is different on the web UI or other Mastodon apps.
