MASTODON









Dear Lemmy: How have things been going?

I've been active on the Fediverse for a while now, but haven't necessarily checked into the Lemmy side of things since the Reddit API fiasco last year. Is everyone okay over here? Nobody's declared war on each other or anything?

I love how the whole tech industry and public at large saw Twitter getting so massive that it got bought by a bored billionaire and instantly went "alright, what's The Next Big Thing?" without considering that maybe the idea of One Big Website isn't a good one in the first place.

I will never shut up about the fact that we need more online spaces, not less. Having only one "perfect" (however you define that) online space isn't healthy. People have different needs, simple as.

Welcome to new people joining from ๐•!

Remember, posts are called toots here, likes are called florps, retweeting is technically a cross-account posting exploit that they can't fix because we're using it, and our version of Grok is called Garfiald.

There's no algorithm here! Literally none. There is no computer code behind Mastodon. Each http response is typed out by hand by your server admin in real time. Sometimes this means you won't see replies from other servers, but that's ok, other servers are full of losers anyway.

People here make a point of using alt text โ€” if you can't find an image you want to post, just post a picture of your cat and describe the correct image in the alt text. Nobody will notice, or at least nobody will mind.

The first thing you should do is make a pinned toot with your pronouns, political affiliation, and favourite Linux distribution. Cisgender people are welcome on Mastodon but aren't officially supported, so some features may not work properly.

But most importantly, have fun! Users found to be not having fun will be given a written warning in the first instance and banned if the behaviour continues.
