Hi everyone! Please exercise patience as we weather the wonderful storm of people joining from Twitter.

The next few days might be a bit rocky. We've had thousands of people sign up the past few days.

You may experience slowdowns, delayed emails, delayed notifications, and some lag on your timelines. This will improve in time.

@carwyn Fedi tip: Multi-word hashtags are better capitalized in CamelCase (e.g. #AcademicMastodon) as that improves accesibility for people relying on screen readers - see https://mstdn.social/@feditips/108392203385630529

Happy tooting! 💚

Okay, y'all, two dozen #Mastodon resources -- including primers, finding people & instances, Twitter tools, tool lists, etc -- in one annotated article, organized by category. Enjoy.
