Hello!
I'm Cassian, I'm nonbinary (they/them) and I live in Wales. I mostly post about TV I'm watching, surveys I'm interested in, being neurodivergent, environment stuff, things I'm making, and spontaneous grumpy rants of little consequence.
I do the @gendercensus annually.
I first tried the Fediverse over 10 years ago, but didn't really get ensconced until the first wave of Mastodon in 2016.

@cassolotl @gendercensus hey! Welcome!

My top tip for getting into Mastodon is:
1) Make a post that says "hi, I'm interested in..." followed by like 10 hashtags about your interests.
2) Click and follow all the hashtags in your post.
3) People will boost your post and it'll go further because of the hashtags, due to the nature of the fediverse. Follow all the people who boost you; you can unfollow later if it's too many people.

@cassolotl First. Welcome, although you had been here first.
Great graph. Really helps explaining what people can expect being without algorithm.Second. To your recommendations I add:
- Free yourself from the pressure of having to have lots of followers or that your worth depends on the reactions of others. Life has more to offer than that!
- Take your time! Find a few people who suit you. -

I am always glad to see a Fediverse influx! I am often surprised that other networks are more popular - of all the places I post, I get the most boosts and replies here. You don't necessarily go viral, but people are genuinely actively engaged and curious and supportive of what you're doing. (Tumblr is in second place!)
Obviously every social network has its issues, I'm not saying Mastodon/the Fediverse is perfect, but in terms of reaching lots of interesting and interested and real people it's unrivalled.
@cassolotl I heard someone say once that on the Fediverse you don't go viral, you go fungal because there is an underground network of interaction that occasionally pops up in surprising ways (perhaps after a rainfall) and I really liked that! :D

They have an algorithm, we have hashtags.

@Bikil @cassolotl one way to find out how relevant the comparison is, is to get a necroboost (recent boosts of comments or posts made years ago) that suddenly give new life to old posts.

@oblomov @Bikil @cassolotl I've thought about this a bit after getting a response days later to a post I'd completely forgotten about and I think it actually shows at least some people are probably engaging with the Fediverse in a healthier way than people do with social media that's algorithmically optimised for attention capture. I presume people are replying to something I said a few days ago because they're not constantly on here but just came back and saw a reply or something

@afewbugs @Bikil @cassolotl this is definitely part of it. (Although I personally am guilty of being terminally online here 8-D)

@oblomov @Bikil @cassolotl oh same! Some people are using it more healthily, I'm not saying I am 😂

I've tested the "Apps" feature of the new RouterOS release by @mikrotik
Good job. I can see some use cases for some people. While I still think that a router should be a router, there could be some specific situations that could be managed by this.

Genuary 2026 Day 13: "Self portrait"
For this one, I sampled pixels in a photo of myself wearing an Axolotl suit at City Hall. I did this in two runs: one at very low resolution and then another in slightly higher resolution in just the area with me in it.

@pgo @aitech attenzione. In questo caso chiunque sa come fare, o almeno spero che chiunque sappia fare una ricerca standard per verificare la risposta del chatbot: e se non la sa fare il problema è molto più a monte del chatbot.

Amazing. "The best modem. The best fax." I guess they knew in advance how punny it could be? How could USR compete?!

Provo a parafrasare la tua domanda: magari non puoi fidarti di un venditore senza scrupoli, ma se puoi verificare indipendentemente la qualità di quel che ti vende, dov'è il problema?
(sottotitolo: chissenefrega se qualcun altro ci casca, io me la cavo perché so come fare)
La questione non è solo tecnica e, secondo me, una valutazione che si limita a probabilità e qualità è di parte, anche se in maniera non evidente.
