Reading about it and the process is handled within mastodon itself! 😄

Really getting confused right now as to which instance I'm signed into. Do I make the leap now across to the new instance? If I do I'll be able to pilot the process for other potential users.

When I joined Mastodon again in April I had a rush of new ideas and inspiration when I realized how much Fedi is capable of.

We're still in the early ages.

I'm so excited for what will come. #Fedi

Why do I feel like there are going to be two types of ADHD'ers who move to mastodon:

One that hyperfixates on getting everything set up

and another that does it because it suddenly became urgent somehow 😅

I’m quite impressed by (a) how helpful existing users of Mastodon have been for all of us noobs trying to learn a new system, and (b) by the deep and widely-held sense of a Fediverse culture (the fact that there’s a “we” that uses content warnings more liberally, alt text more frequently, etc) - it’s complete with a sense of place, ethics, identity. It’s fascinating, and makes me glad to have had the good fortune to stumble into it.

The best way to keep this development going and to get features added is to support the team. I #SupportMastodon at $10 a month, but you can choose less or more. See my post below with link to #Patreon. @Gargron @Mastodon

#introduction #introductions I'm Squish (April), an #ADHD + #Autistic poet, software engineer and artist. I'm #trans / #nonbinary (they/she), #asexual

I'm really starting to appreciate what mastodon has to offer, but I think I had to overcome that initial resistance I have to trying new things.

I love sci-fi, writing, science, and also am into retrocomputing as well.

If any of these things sound interesting, feel free to follow along.

Mastodon will update to 4.0 soon! Here are the most exciting new features (in addition to fixes & changes):

- ability to follow hashtags
- ability to filter by language
- ability to translate posts
- ability to post HEIC files (i.e. your iPhone’s native photo format)
- define user roles (big deal for admins)
- define sign-up process on your Instance (admins again)

See all changes here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.0.0rc1

Thanks, @Gargron and @Mastodon Team. #Mastodon4
