Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there :)

Welcome to Mastodon.Right off the bat some things to understand... No one cares about your follow:follower ratio here, no one cares about your post count, etc. There is no algorithm to feed you content here, instead you make your timeline by following people, hashtags and groups that interest you.
Next, I suggest following @FediTips to get more pointers / guidance on using the #fediverse, of which Mastodon is only a part.

Hello 👋
I don’t post much on my own but I like all the amazing artists here. I boost what I can so if you need a break from the yuck out there, have a look ☺️ -
@DonChacale Thanks, Don. How are you finding it so far? I think I've just about got the hang of, like, GitHub, and the thing where you can make the terminal do a bonsai tree - so, the important stuff...
@MelodicDinosaur
using mint which is really GUI ...my main thrust is to move away from corporate surveillance state tech. subverted chromebooks to linux mint. -
@Hedgewizard @independentpen The *lichens*? What did they dooo?
@MelodicDinosaur @independentpen
Attention whores, one and all. Check their thallus type before engaging, that's all I'm saying -
@Hedgewizard Oop! A friendly Hedgewizard. Hello!
I hope you'll forgive my asking such a purrsonal question - you're a very handsome cat, but are you a familiar or representative of the wizard or are you the wizard himself?
I'd rather not have to choose a tribe but it'd better not be sourdough because I tried one once and forgot about it and then it just got smelly and I threw it away so I'm afraid the little yeasts that live in the air will gang up on me if I ever try it again.
As for lichen vs. cats, I'll have to think carefully about this. I do like my new lichen friends but I don't want to end up embroiled in gang warfare. I'll have to seek specialist advice.
@MelodicDinosaur
That's Tiki. He's my over-familiar. This one is Ishi - if you hold him just right you can hear the wind whistling through the empty space between his ears -

Welcome. I see you have many responses of goodwill.
I didn’t see a mention of @FediTips — you might wish to check them out.

Hello and welcome. It's great to meet you.
I see someone has already recommended https://fedi.tips/ . Let me also suggest https://fedi.directory/ as a way to find interesting people to follow and get your timeline kick-started. 🙂

@MelodicDinosaur Ooh my son (in London) is looking to get into Linux, what are your top-3 ways to learn.
Ex-pat Brit' living in the high plains desert in the foothills of the rocky mountains.can we have our snow back whoever has it?

@OneInterestingFact Hello! LOL, I sort of really didn't know what to put, but it's been a nice surprise how friendly everyone has been!
I don't have any experience of other social media so no expectations but yes, generally friendly is exactly how I've found it too.
Although I came for art and relaxation I've found myself drifting into politics more than I intended, or maybe politics is intruding, but I am advised that running two accounts can be a way to get back if you head too far off course... -

Mah infatti, non so perché si finisce sempre in un comizio in cerca di proseliti o nuovi adepti per la causa... "dannati mangia cadaveri" dicono loro, come se a differenza di un animale essere vivente, una pianta non lo fosse, quindi secondo la loro contorta visione, la pianta non soffre, non muore, ecc quindi è etico consumarla..🤦

Hello Fedi friends, how's your #DiDay going?
I was going to configure CryptPad on my second YunoHost VPS but gave up because of complicated DNS settings / additional SSL certs and the requirement to tweak things in the background... too complicated for this newbie, sigh. Plus I already have document editing in NextCloud.
So I opted instead for a new installation: #AppFlowy, an open source alternative to #Notion.
AppFlowy's description mentions integration with AI - #OpenAI especially - but it's not mandatory. The setup instructions say that if you don't want to use it, you can enter a random string... so I ended up writing a very long IDetestOpenAIblahblahblah sort of thing and YunoHost is currently doing its magic, installing the app on my server.
I'll let you know how it goes!
