Woohoo 🎉 Today, we federated another great group of Flipboard curators, adding over 2,500 Flipboard Magazines to the fediverse on topics like history, climate, culture, space and education.
And check out these five newly federated Magazines we love:
Water: stories related to water issues curated by climate diplomacy expert Anna Schulz @water
Quantum: cutting edge physics from quantum mechanics to cosmology @quantum
S.T.E.A.M.E.D.: curating stories in science, technology, engineering, architecture, math, medicine, and design @s
Spyglass: curated by M.G. Siegler, a long-time technology investor and writer @spyglass
City Life: curated by George Hahn, a self-proclaimed urban raconteur and self-made thousandaire in pursuit of sartorial stealth and effective living @city
Wondering what a Magazine is? A Magazine is a curated feed of posts about a specific topic or interest that is followable, just like a profile.
Hello great people of mastodon.radio! We are SN9H - contest station team of @hskrk - since we appreciate the outstanding quality of mastodon.radio feed, we wanted to funnel radio endeavors of Hackerspace Kraków here - to the HAMs :)
Hello, new here! Looking for folks to connect with that like the exploring the outdoors, gardening, hiking, plants, wine, Pilates, Barre, reading, sleeping, cats, breweries or professional emailers like myself. I'm easygoing and a homebody. Our interests don't have to align exactly and if you work in the L&D field I'd love to connect. Please follow me and I'll follow you back 👋 #NewHere#Likes#FirstPost#Cats#Breweries#Wine#Hiking#Gardening#Plants#Reading#Pilates#LearningandDevelopment
Hi from #Oldenburg, Northern Germany. I'm #newhere on SoNoMu.club (SoNoMu = Sound, Noise, Music). I'm a #DJ and have established a group for electronic music DJs in Northern Germany.
I just created posts with content warnings and then put hashtags in the body of the post. It occurred to me that the hashtags may not work, or at least the post won’t show up for people who follow that hashtag. Is that correct? When I googled this, I was confused with the answers I found. Can someone please explain how this works? Thank you!
Is it a thing that #mastodon limits how far back you can scroll in your “home” feed? I keep trying to scroll to posts from earlier than 4h ago and it won’t let me. Is this normal or a glitch?
Well I can’t post any profile pictures or cover photos. I’ve deleted the app and redownloaded it and still nothing. Anyone else have this problem before and know how to fix it? #help#newhere#introduction
Hello everyone! I’m #NewHere and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Dalton B. and I am a Disciple of Jesus Christ! I am looking to make this my new home for socials and looking to migrate my friends and current following here!
Hallo #Mastodon! 👋 Wir bei Flipboard Deutschland freuen uns riesig Teil der Fediverse-Community zu werden. Die Welt der sozialen Netzwerke verändert sich rasant und wir sind gespannt darauf gemeinsam mit euch zu lernen.
#introduction#NewHere
Hello everyone. Reza is here. I am a quite person with a noisy head. I like spending time in nature, reading books, and learn something from everything. I picked up on hiking a few years ago and now am an absolute fan.
Here, will be about sharing some of my million daily thoughts that go in my head, posting some photos of mountains ⛰️, some book quotes I read, and other things. If you are interested in these topics, let's get connected.
Just joined Mastadon. It's like when you come to a party and search for some familiar faces to start chatting with, I searched for some contacts. Found nobody! #NewHere
We are Noe 🇪🇸 and Olive 🇫🇷. We have been living in Sydney for almost a decade when we decided it was time to see what Australia had to offer. We quit our jobs and packed our car to start the so-called Big Lap, a drive around the country.
We will be using this account to post updates of our journey as we discover things on our way.
Hi everyone! I'm a composer & audio developer. I also like fountain pens, mechanical keyboards, software-defined radio, leftist politics & learning new things.
My music tends toward the glitchy, noisy, microtonal side of things, and I like to use Max/MSP and incorporate audio samples from my software-defined radio hobby. You can find my music at my site, SoundCloud & YouTube:
I'm also teaching myself web development, and because I'm interested in the Fediverse, IndieWeb, and open web/free software in general, I'm interested in using my web development experience to get involved in those things down the line.
Here's one of my compositions I'm particularly proud of. It's for trumpet, trombone, percussion, and MIDI keyboard. There are cheesy Yamaha DX7 synth sounds, microtonal brass, and glitchy, distorted noise.
I waited a decade & half? for an edit button on a major corporate media silo (#Twitter). When it finally arrived it required a monthly fee, and by then I had already left some time ago!
There are tons of clever people making things all the time on the #Fedi. This is part of it's strength. The #Fediverse actually innovates much faster and also in more interesting iterations and directions than the monetization driven corporate social media silos. Decisions made for users, are better for users, than decisions made for shareholders.
There are a lot of different interesting front end projects. These let us access our home servers via an app or an alternate webpage front end.
#Icecubes#Mona#Tusky#Elk are a few examples of #Mastodon front end projects. Many of these have some unique features that vanilla webpage Mastodon doesn't yet.
We can always access our servers by just typing their address in to an internet browser to get the regular webpage frontend too.
Everything is all connected, these are just a few examples of additional ways of navigating & experiencing. So we can use several routes, depending on need, mood or device. Regardless of which frontend we use, our account(s) remain the same so it's safe to experiment and try things out. #Help#HelpThread#Welcome#New#Newbies#NewHere#FediTips
