New people, welcome to Mastodon and the Fediverse!
Here's how to get started:
1. Find some people to follow over on @FediFollows, and through Trunk (https://communitywiki.org/trunk)
2. Find out your Mastodon/Fediverse address so you can share it with friends (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107248252715651564)
3. Invite people to join you on here by telling them to go to https://joinmastodon.org and click on "Get Started". It doesn't matter if they join a different server because the servers talk to each other (here's a bit more of an explanation https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107021461185874594)
4. Find out what the Fediverse is (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107044096139091624)
5. Find out why Mastodon being on so many different servers/instances is a really good thing (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107083735491993183)
6. If you see anything nasty, you can report it to your friendly server admin (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106540152842368591)
7. You can (sort of) verify your account if you own a website (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106274105538953001)
If you have any questions, @ me or DM me!
I signed up on https://mastodon.social not knowing what to expect from fedi. Now I’m ready to move to a more interest-focused instance and actually enjoy the local timeline I’m on.
https://weirder.earth and https://qoto.org are both appealing. I guess I’ll dive into https://instances.social and make my careful decision tomorrow!
Call me pedantic but I find it unacceptable for musical instrument manufacturers to use the term “polyrhythm” to refer to polymeter.
Speaking of, Olympia Noise Co.’s Patterning drum machine app is actually capable of polyrhythm and it’s so fun to play with: https://olympianoiseco.com/apps/patterning-2/. More circular sequencers on the market please!
睡前每次感受到心脏均匀的搏动就想做点什么。Surely there’s *something* that can be done, right?…right?
想把刀插进压迫者们的胸口。不仅想杀死具体的皇帝，还想杀死「皇帝」这个抽象的角色，从规则里和从人们对规则的无意识的期待里抹灭它。
The official Mastodon app really needs to add support for the "Local" timeline.
It was (presumably) left out because on larger servers it's an overwhelming firehose and seems useless.
However, on smaller servers it's a really important way to build a sense of community.
Instances like https://social.chinwag.org put a lot of work into making their local timeline pleasant for their members, and they have withdrawn from the https://JoinMastodon.org directory in protest at the lack of Local support in the official app. This is a bad sign, it shows something has gone wrong in relations with smaller instances.
Small servers are really good for Masto, because the more small servers there are, the harder it will be for any amoral billionaires to try to buy up the network.
If you agree that the Local timeline should be added to the official app, please add thumbs up to the relevant issues on GitHub:
