NEW PEOPLE: Mastodon really does work. The hardware is just a little slashdotted right now. Normally it's about as reliable as Twitter 2017, not Twitter 2007.

Just use the ✅ symbol to signal what instance you're currently active on. That way, there's finally a good use to that bloody check mark.

One more hat-tip to @five for this.

@thock In my case, it means that it's the instance I'm actively using. Finally, a good purpose for that bloody thing.
The ✅ symbol @ [email protected], signals that I'm actively using that instance, and that my other nonchecked instance identities are hibernating. Hat-tip to @five for the idea.

@timp @Gargron @frankmeeuwsen

Agreed. Now if only we had cheap/easy account migration and/or meaningful account linkage of some kind. This would be the only thing likely to motivate me to start an instance.

There would be an attraction to starting one with membership only open to people who've been around my infrastructure coding group a while as a badge of honor thing, plus local feed making it easy for alumni to connect.

@jkap Just fed-curious: Are you doing this for testing-purposes, is it with the idea to simply run an instance for yourself, something else?
anyway I'm good to party here I guess. nice
