FediTips has moved!Some tips for new members:
-Third party Mastodon apps are better than official apps. On Android try Tusky or Fedilab. On iPhone/iPad try Toot!
-If you're looking for people to follow see here: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#HowDoIFindPeopleToFollow
-This place isn't normally slow! There's a massive influx of new people today, the servers may be slow/buggy while they get upgraded.
-Servers are all independent and run by volunteers out of their own pocket, there are no ads or investors or trackers. Support your server!
Mastodon MigrationPublic Service Warning
Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.
It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.
We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
RSchooleyI think replicating the social aspect of twitter on other platforms is relatively easy. What I’ll miss if the users fracture and scatter is when there’s some breaking news event you could key in immediately to eye witnesses and experts and have a pretty good idea what’s going on before the news proper could catch up. That immediacy and scope will be hard to replicate elsewhere unless one of these platforms suddenly crushes Twitter itself.
Jen SimmonsEvery news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
@ChrisDriver it's quiet here. weird, in comparison, but...I kinda like it?
@natematias a lot of folks going to get a crash course in leetspeak if they haven't already learned to use it.

Dan GillmorThe redoubtable Ben Collins -- one of the best in the business - just came aboard Mastodon. You should follow him immediately. @oneunderscore__
(I'll put together a list of tech reporters and post it soon.)
