@qinaliu @markov @nolan @dredmorbius @Katharsisdrill @acw
acw and the pineapple story will be remembered for many generations. It is the story of a moment in time when all were welcomed to Mastodon with pineapples.

When pineapples were given freely in a spirit of generosity to indicate the sweet tanginess of life and sharing our joy in living it.

2 🍍's for you and a 🍍 for me. We are going to keep doing this until the 🍍 's are free

@acw @Katharsisdrill @dredmorbius @nolan @markov @qinaliu @20Hz does this make acw an ananarchist?

@starhaze @acw @Katharsisdrill @nolan @markov @qinaliu @20Hz We all fight for the glorious :pineapple: !!

/me notes the conspicuous absence of :anarchy: or :hammer_sickle: emoji.

But our emojic overlords have given us 🔗🔗

@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
Show threadAlexander BentleyApr 10, 2017
@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.

@qinaliu Just read your article. It was good. I cant believe you dont have any followers yet? Or is that just how it shows up on my instance?
Show threadQina Liu✅Apr 18, 2017
@stochastix Hi Jeremy, I think the public follower count you're seeing might be how many people in your instance follow me. This might show you different numbers: https://mastodon.social/@qinaliu

@qinaliu Is it common for people to sign up on multiple instances in order to get a feel for the different communities, and people there?(I know about the bots after reading your article) It would be nice though if there was a way to access them without having to create separate accounts!
Show threadQina Liu✅Apr 18, 2017
@stochastix I'm not sure how many people sign up for multiple instances, but if you know someone else's handle, you can find/contact them no matter what instance you're on (and even if they're on different instances). Your local & federated timelines will look different depending on what instance you're in though

@qinaliu Hi! I just read your article about Mastodon on Medium, it was really intersting. Thanks!
