As cybre.space is shutting down and will be going read-only next month, I've moved over to @waterbear and will be using that going forward.
I hope that if you've followed me here you'll do so there as well!
Pokes things until they break. Getting lost in bits, playing with Linux and radios.

@HeNeArXn That has been my approach and one of my big challenges also :(
It seems like many of the instances I find interesting folks on are closed (invite-only) and do not make their local timelines available. It's a challenge for someone getting started trying to engage on here!
@mcfly I'd love to attend in person but will enjoy what I can remotely because I can't afford the in-person trip (from the USA) at this time.
Outside of travel costs, I am only just beginning to feel comfortable attending in-person events even where masking is required. But I don't know when I will really be fully comfortable again for that.
Every once in a while I try to view the federated timeline to discover new people to follow. Every time I'm reminded why it hasn't worked yet -- it's so noisy!
Does anyone actually view the federated timeline? Do you just mute everything for a while to cut down the noise until it becomes manageable? Or do you just... watch your local instance and folks you already follow, hoping they interact with more interesting people?
I am bad at fedi. Please help.
