@reality2cast @mastohost I’m thinking I’ll try installing on @linode shortly and see how it goes. Wish me luck. 😂 It’s not even so much the technical issues. I don’t think I’ll have a problem there, but the challenge of setting it up *well* and in a way that won’t cost me down the road in either 💸 or mental wellness. 🤓
Debating self-hosting vs. finding another server for @reality2cast since I heard that server is on block lists. Since @mastohost is still overwhelmed, and I would like to make my life easier, I would love any and all feedback and suggestions. #newServer #selfHosting
Almost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.
@kyle I can't believe you made this!! It's quite lovely. What is the lining? And was it with your antique sewing machine? Did you have to do anything special to stitch a thick material?
Is there an app or an easy way to harvest, download, etc your Twitter DMs? I'm downloading my Twitter data but I'm realising there are conversations etc with people going back to 2008 in Twitter DMs I'd love to be able to access if the site goes away.

It's #followfriday again! As many of you know, I joined #Intel earlier this year, and these are some of the interesting people I get to work with on #opensource #community EVERY DAY! 🤩 @pixelgeek @eze_lanza @deirdres @nmar @shirley @sgold #IamIntel
I found this diagram online. I think it can be useful for folks new to #mastodon. I know I forget it all the time.

@joao Thanks! I need to check this out a bit more.
@thermos Thanks!
@thermos Aside from understanding that each focuses on a different type of post, I am wondering similar, in other words, what is the best way to use each individually and together? And are enough people I know using them? That seems most relevant with something like Lemmy, for example.
@alaric Thanks!
@kyle I feel another podcast coming on. :)
My thread here yesterday about this cycle between open and closed protocols inspired me to write a longer-form piece on the subject:
I'm curious to know which other parts of the #fediverse people are exploring besides Mastodon. Who is using #BookWyrm, #Lemmy, #pixelfed or others? I'd love to know more and get recommendations on how to approach.
I feel like I haven't fully embraced the full Fediverse yet.
