This is something that @jgraham909 and I talked about a lot back in the day, within the context of doing work in Drupal versus doing work on the web.

One of the many things that's been fun about getting used to Mastodon is having a place that just feels like using/interacting via tech in a way that's fun.

I knew that other platforms hadn't been that in a long while, but I had forgotten how fun it is.

Tech we use frequently becomes something between a crutch and a rut; breaking free is nice.

Hey there everyone! 👋

Please have a look at my website because it will probably answer a lot of your questions about how to use Mastodon and the Fediverse:

➡️ https://fedi.tips

If you're recommending me as a follow to others, it would be great if you could mention the site too so that new people get help straight away.

I am getting repeating questions that are already answered on the website, so it would help a LOT if you could tell new people about the site as well as my account! 😅

I started Home Office Lunch in Ye Olden Days before Covid.

It's well past time to dust it off and start adding to it.

Any lunchtime suggestions?
