@lynessence. This account hasn't been very active lately, but now that another new year has been rung in, and the holidays are over, I'd like to get back to a more regular posting schedule.
A reminder to those who have registered for our first ever CaneAndAble get-together that it’s on at the top of the hour. We are looking forward to meeting everyone.
At the time we are posting this, there are less than 12 hours before the first ever CaneAndAble get-together, taking place on Zoom. To get the registration link, send a DM from your CaneAndAble.social account, and we’ll get the Zoom registration link to you. It’s exciting to see the registrations coming in and we look forward to seeing CaneAndAble members for an informal catch-up.
Hi all members of CaneAndAble.social. Today is Friday, and that means the first ever CaneAndAble get-together for members of our wonderful and growing community is super close now, but there is still time to request the registration link for the Zoom meeting.
It’s taking place this Saturday at 4 PM US Eastern time, 20 UTC. That’s currently 8 PM in the UK, 9 AM on Sunday in New Zealand, 7 AM in Eastern Australia.
This get together is open to CaneAndAble members. If you would like the Zoom link, please send a direct message to this account from your CaneAndAble account, and we’ll ensure you have the link in good time for the event.
Lynette and Jonathan will talk a bit about the instance and answer any questions or take your suggestions. Then we’ll just open it up for a conversation between all the members who attend. We’re particularly interested in getting questions or comments about making the most of mastodon, using Mastodon apps on various platforms, and other ActivityPub services.
We’re really looking forward to it. See you on Saturday.
It's this weekend, which is now not far away! If you're a CaneAndAble.social member, have you contacted us for the registration link to be a part of our first get-together? It's not too late, but time is running out.

Welcome to all the new folks who have made their virtual home on CaneAndAble.social. We're so happy to have you here!
I've noticed that quite a few of you who have signed up are unfamiliar with Mastodon. There's some new lingo to learn, but it's really not that scary. There is an excellent post that is pinned to the top of the Navigators profile which helps you get started on Mastodon if you're new, and tells you how to migrate from another instance if you're not.
If there's anything that isn't covered in this guide, please feel free to reply with your question and I'll do my best to answer.
We want you to have the best experience possible, so please don't hesitate to communicate if you're having an issue, a question, or you just want to say hello.
Again, welcome to our newest CaneAndAblers, and happy posting!
We believe in the ability of Mastodon to create distinct, cohesive communities while also being able to talk to the world, so we’re excited to see people signing up for our inaugural meet-up via Zoom. There's still time to get the deets.
It’s happening this Saturday at 4 PM US Eastern time, 20 UTC. That’s currently 8 PM in the UK, 9 AM on Sunday in New Zealand, 7 AM in Eastern Australia.

In our relentless quest to bring our users reliability and general epicness, we are now rocking mastodon 4.31, which was recently released.
Thanks to everyone who has chosen to be a part of our instance. We love being part of the Fediverse, and we also love the sense of community we are creating here on CaneAndAble.social. We’re thinking about ways to build on that community spirit we already have and to make this a great place for blind people to hang out.
One way we’ll do this is to organise occasional online gatherings for CaneAndAble.social members. We’ll experiment with a first one by hanging out for a chat over Zoom. It will be open to everyone who has a CaneAndAble.social account. More details to follow in the next couple of weeks.
