#Welcome everyone! A few tips:
- Yes, servers can be temporarily slow when lots of people join at once. Be kind to your admins, they're working hard and it's worth the wait.
- Fill in your bio!
- Hashtags are your friends. Use them to give more visibility to your posts and to find new people to follow. You can even follow hashtags.
- Boost, boost, boost! There's no algorithm here deciding who sees what.
@mastodonusercount Fairly constant now at over ten thousand registrations per hour.
For comparison back in October there used to be only about 50 registrations per hour.
That should have been displayed as:
mastodon.social/@BeckePhysics
instead of
@ BeckePhysics @ mastodon.social
(Spaces added here so it didn’t display shortened)
For those trying to invite your friends over there in the bird app, I’ve discovered that if you write it as instance slash @ username, the link works directly. Otherwise, the app seems to try to send an email.
mastodon.social/@BeckePhysics instead of @BeckePhysics
Does this remind you of anything?
If I mentioned it’s the John A Roebling suspension bridge, would that ring a bell?
This was completed in 1867 connecting Cincinnati to Kentucky.
Roebling would go on to design the Brooklyn Bridge, which I’ve been a fan of since reading David McCullough’s The Great Bridge as well as the Ken Burns documentary.
When I realized this bridge existed in Cincinnati, I couldn’t resist a visit on my business trip.
@tony873004 how would it look in a lunar-centric view?
That orbit reminds me of the temporary “moons” that occasionally find their way into orbit around earth.

• Ingenuity had a fourth software update which will give it advanced navigation capabilities that will allow it to safely fly up the steep terrain of the Jezero river delta, scouting ahead of the rover Perseverance as it searches for signs of past life on Mars.
• Sample Retrieval Helicopters (SRH) will have an arm manipulator with two-fingered gripper, and wheels
