There's no one right way to use Mastodon. I use it a lot like I did Twitter, a kind of RSS feed. I followed friends, scanned the Local timeline for interesting stuff, and when someone boosted an interesting thing, I'd check out the account and maybe follow that one.

There's also "groups", like @plants and @litstudies. These are automated accounts that boost the posts they're tagged in, like a subscription.

Following hashtags, like #CatsOfMastodon is new, and delightful.

This record is in the collection "Unlocked Recordings" on the Internet Archive. They make a reasonable search for copyright holders, and if they can do it, the records are freely available for play and download.

You can search and sort by any number of things: year, composer, language.

#Introduction Hey, look. I'm just this doof, you know? Old geek is old. Early adoption let me get this cool name that I've had for decades on other platforms. I like seeing what other people do. Occasionally I do things too.
I put the dried out old pea plants into some mulch and got surprise peas. I also got this fungi. Anybody know what it is?

This started as a trimming the landscapers didn't pick up. I put it in water for a few weeks and now it has roots. Still not sure what kind of plant it is. #plants #florespondence @plants

It's taken me two years to get this where I wanted. I'll keep tweaking but this makes me really happy.
