Je parcours mon flux, je ne vois que 1 ou 2 ami•e•s pratiquement que des japonaises…
Tout le monde dort donc en France, comme moi ce matin, réveillé tard. Ou alors la tempête hispanique vous a coupé le sifflet ?
Je vous souhaite néanmoins un heureux dimanche, ce jour là le chef de l'état français ferme sa gueule, les huissiers font le grasse-mat, on ne risque pas trop de se faire emmerder.
Hello #Mastodon! I am making the jump from X to here. Too many of my #science and #medicine buddies left X. If you switched from X, how do you like it here? #introductions
I switch close to a year ago. At the beginning I missed people I followed
(https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ helps you to find others who moved). Through the distributed nature it's harder to find people by name or handle.
I used bird.makeup for some of them
(@twitterhandel creates a virtual #mastodon account which mirrors their tweets).
I struggled with the search, as you couldn't search the content of posts.
But while the bird search got worse (I went back a few times to find out stuff, unsuccessfully) the search here improved.
There now is a full text search (every account can configure if they like to be searchable or not (and the instance needs to support it)).
Through the distributed nature you will not search all of the #fediverse (not sure if you stumbled upon this name before. If not I'll add an explanation 😀).
I have more meaningful and "successful" interaction (e.g. found a kids book I read 40 years ago by a very vague description 😅)
Summing it up, I feel at home here 😄
P.s.: #Maston is not all of the #fedivers and after some time I tried out @bookwyrm which is an #ActivePub server with the focus on books and tracking reading. While it's not a mastodon instance you can still follow and interact with people there (e.g @realn2s )
Translated to commercial social networks it would be like you could follow and respond to people on Instagram or Facebook from within the birdside.
Wikipedia lists some of the other "members" of the fediverse at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse
Das #Fediverse bietet eine große Vielfalt. Relativ neu und ziemlich interessant: #Firefish (ehemals Calckey). Ähnlich wie #Mastodon ein Microblogging-Dienst, aber noch etwas weitergedacht. Es gibt bspw. eine Suche, über das gesamte Fediverse, Möglichkeit zum Zitieren und viel Customizing-Möglichkeiten - gerade für Poweruser interessant.
Macht jetzt schon ziemlich viel Laune mit dem Testaccount. Kommen jetzt noch gute mobile Clients, dann hat #Maston echte Konkurrenz.
Lain is right, also fedi is a bubble, albeit a decently big one. like lol, "twitter is dying" it has over 100x as many ACTIVE users than fedi has SIGN-UPS. "the site broke for a while because elon is stupid" no one cares lol, fedi servers implode every week from incompetent administrators and people just come back when the admin reinstalls on a new subdomain
@deutrino@hj@lanodan@Moon I follow several lemmy communities from #Friendica, and threading works fine, looks no different than this long hell thread save the first post always has a TITLE and is clearly a "re-toot" of the OP.
#Maston's handling where each post/comment looks like a single re-toot makes it nearly impossible to follow, especially with the added traffic with the #RedditMigration. I had to stop following @memes from my masto account because reasons.
