I’d also like to thank whoever recommended Metatext - it’s easily the best Mastodon app for iPhone.
To anyone wondering, as I was, what CamelCase means, it refers to capitalisation in hashtags. For eg #BelieveInFilm rather than #believeinfilm. This is so that people who use screen-readers have the tag read out correctly.

I am so incredibly grateful to all the people here. New migrants like me have been nothing but hopeful and existing accounts nothing but helpful.

Best thing of all, by reinforcing the idea of social media as a shared space, it’s put me in listening, rather than just transmit mode, and made me a lot more mindful of why, how, and what I post across ALL platforms. #mastodon #fediverse #community

Testing, testing, this is Skipton calling. Are we one of the first bookshops on Mastodon? Not quite sure what to toot, so we've followed @stephenfry for some ideas. For now here's a picture of the shop bathed in some warm light we had one afternoon last week.

A few recommendations for life on Mastodon:

1) Follow anyone you think looks potentially interesting; you can always unfollow later, and they may lead you to new people via boosted posts.

2) Boost posts you think are worthy, so others can discover new content.

3) Don't obsess on replicating your Twitter follows on Mastodon; let it be its own experience, and grow it organically. Obvs follow anyone you miss from Twitter, but this isn't a 1:1 replacement; have fun, follow your instincts.

I feel very attacked. 😂
