SatanJust a PSA.
Mastodon v4 goes online on Monday.
Many server/instance admins will be updating.
I've ran through the process with the latest RC yesterday on my testbed and it all went well, but, like any update these things are prone to hiccups.
Keep that in mind if your server seems to go offline briefly, the admins will be trying their best
Steve UmsteadA tip I just saw on the birdsite: if you use Twitter to log in to any other site or service, get those sites/services set up with alternate logins. You never know if/when that ability gets pulled. #twittermigration
Jeffrey LieberGunna try to do a trial run Q&A about creating TV and Film here at 5PM Pacific (US).
If you're around, come play.
And, if it seems like something you think others might be interested in...please do pass it on.
Ciara | Ciaraรญoch ๐จI think, with a little patience and a lot of hard work, we can make this place just as awful as Twitter ๐
Jerry LevineKEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!
Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?
Favorites โญ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.
Boosts ๐ - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).
So if you โญ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!
But if you ๐ posts, then more people see them!
OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!
Thunderbird: Free Your InboxA very warm welcome to those of you migrating from Twitter, or those curious about the other side!
#Hashtags are important here. There's no algorithm dictating what you see or when you see it. Finding who to follow or what topics to track is completely up to you.
Which is refreshing.
On our web view, we like to follow stuff like #Linux and #OpenSource. Use your search bar and look around!

Have fun!
Eugen RochkoI don't think Mastodon or the fediverse has ever received this much attention before. It's a great opportunity for people to finally see that social media can be done differently, that it can be a protocol not under control of any single company.
Mastodon MigrationDo I need multiple accounts? Do I need to join lots of servers?
No. You only need one account on one server to follow and interact with people from all across the Fediverse.
Think of it like your telephone: you only need one phone with one SIM card to call anyone in the world.
You donโt need phones for every phone network, because the worldโs phone networks talk to each other.
You donโt need an account for every Fediverse server, because the worldโs Fediverse servers talk to each other.
Feels like early days! Whoโs here from #screenwritertwitter to follow?
