So you're just getting started in Mastodon huh?

Here's a neat thing. On the web interface you can search for a Hashtag.

Same as you can on Twitter.

Something like #Ukraine, for example

But on the search results, see that little user icon on the right? Click it and you'll follow it as if it's a user!

New posts with that tag will arrive in your home page, even if you don't follow the author yet

@kvlly Like, on purpose? You did this deliberately?

UPDATE: As of this morning there are now more than 7 million Mastodon users, most from the #TwitterMigration.

In fact, 100,000 new accounts have been created since last night.

Since last night's spike 8,000-12,000 new accounts are being created every hour.

Yesterday, I estimated that Mastodon would have 8 million users by the end of the week. That might happen a lot sooner if this trend continues.

Meta releases Sapling, a new way of using source control

Sapling SCM | Sapling

Sapling is a source control system developed and used at Meta that places special emphasis on usability and scalability. Git and Mercurial users will find many of the basic concepts familiar, and that workflows like understanding your repository, working with stacks of commits, and recovering from mistakes, are substantially easier.

I think it's glorious that there's now a Mastodon server operated by people who used to work for Twitter (macaw.social). I could have never imagined it when I started in 2016.

Was anyone realistically thinking about creating a #dotnet implementation of #mastadon ?

I sorta started on it, but wasn't going to continue if there's a #Microsoft led effort.

If there's no existing project, I'll try to gather some collaborators and continue.

Who's interested in trying to get a #dotnet7 version going?

#OSS #foss

Please boost to help me find people or a project! Thanks!
