Dear new users:

It's alright to take your time and get up to speed on here. You don't have to hit the ground running. You might have picked up the habit of interacting with social media as it it were naturally a competitive performance--we all did--but the best thing about Mastodon and the fediverse beyond it is that it's not like that. Take some time to decompress.

It took me about six months to fully drop the armor that I'd been wearing from being on other sites. That was three years ago. This place changes lives.

Also, it's okay to be picky. Sign up at a new instance, if the first one you pick isn't the best fit possible. You'll find your home, and folks here understand it takes trial and error.

Above all, take a deep breath. What feels weird now will make sense pretty quickly.

Glad to have you.

Hey friends just a note that Mastodon instances are usually run by just one or two people, and generally in their spare time. If you can spare a buck or two a month to support the hardware/internet costs, it sure helps. Check your home instance to see if they're accepting donations!

Hi! mastodon.social is being slow right now, as far as I can tell because there's twice as many people using it at the same time as ever have; I'm working on making it go fast again, but in the meantime, do remember to invite people to joinmastodon.org instead of directly to mastodon.social. People don't have to be on the same server to follow you! Thanks!

I’m seeing some discourse about the lack of a local timeline in the official Mastodon mobile app. I do think that timeline could be nice on smaller instances where you expect everyone to share a common interest, but I think it’s mostly useful for discovery. Here’s my proposal:

It's now been 6 months since I started using Fedora Silverblue, marking the longest period of time I've spent on a single Linux distro other than elementary OS.

Overall, it's been a great experience, and I don't see myself going back to any traditional distro (i.e. not immutable like Silverblue is) in the near future.

PSA: The Tow-Boot project (https://tow-boot.org) have just put out their 4th release, officially supporting the @PINE64 #PinePhone and #PinePhonePro: https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases/tag/release-2021.10-004

If you're wondering what EBBR is: https://arm-software.github.io/ebbr/index.html#document-chapter2-uefi. Basically, Tow-Boot delivers UEFI on ARM and thus makes work for distributions a lot easier.
