I'm just a guy from North Carolina, transplanted to New York City. Blind, autistic, going deaf. Amateur radio operator, audio editor/sound engineer (as hearing dictates,) pretend to be a musician sometimes.
@ner I once had a biopsy as a direct result of ramming my face into a microphone boom. You can use that if you want.
@austinnix Sorry 'bout that. It's a jerk.
My old Ubiquiti 802.11AC access points need to be replaced, so I got two U6 Pros. Nobody seems to have more than 1 in stock, so ordered from two different sellers. #FirstWorldProblems
@ner Yep, that part is kind of dumb, especially since I have 2000 something of them.
@ner I'm not really sure what's so hard about composing on Metatext, though. There's a compose button on the right side of the screen one row up from the tabs. Hit it and write stuff.
@ner Yeah, I am using Tweesecake for Windows and Metatext on iOS. I initially didn't see the point for joining more than one, but the local timeline thing and the ability to compartmentalize in some ways is cool.
@ner That's why I am also on mastodon.radio with my callsign. Interesting local timeline there.
@ner I've been here since 2018, and right now, it's working.

Welcome new users! A lot of you might have an empty Home screen right now and that's probably because you're on mobile and using the official apps.

Please switch to a 3rd party app like Metatext on iOS and Tusky on Android to see all of the active channels.

Here's a good post about the timelines: https://mindly.social/@KuJoe/109331216797364511

Welcome new people to the Fediverse! The number one question I see as a first post here is "where is everybody?" Home timeline: People you follow Local timeline: People on the same server as you Federated timeline: People your server knows about (Local + other servers) If you are new, your home timeline will be empty. There is no algorithm so you decide what shows up there. Good luck building your own social network experience! It can be as busy or relaxed as you want it to be.
