Just a reminder that it's great that the Mastodon community is much less toxic than Twitter, but folks were just as excited when Tumblr was new. There are fascists on Diaspora and Minds.com. Decentralization doesn't cure hate.
Welcome new people! 
👏 👋

Humble suggestion that “shitposting” on masto be renamed to “pooptootin”
Finding new people to follow is hard for newbies on any platform. I'm hoping that #Trunk can help. What I need is people volunteering to be on lists so newbies can follow a bunch of people right away. Please reply to this post if you agree to be on a list. Feel free to suggest new lists that I haven't thought of. (Living in my own filter bubble, I know!) Please boost!

Also looking for more lists. 😃
Hey, @Migueldeicaza is here! Hi!
I tried Bauxitedev's entry for #LOWREZJAM today and wow, it's amazing!
So much detail, gorgeous artwork, SFX and gameplay packed in a 64x64 px jam game. I long for an extended version :)

The Missing Element in the Fediverse https://ludovic.chabant.com/devblog/2018/08/16/the-missing-element-in-the-fediverse/
Don't believe me? 👀 Look at my profile: https://edolas.world/users/0x1C3B00DA
You see the last box in the left column? Where it says 'Serversoftware: Pleroma'?
🕵️ That's what they don't want you to know. This is the fediverse and it's bigger than mastodon. You can use any software that works and it's all the same network.
Don't let them keep the truth from you. There's a bigger world out there. 🤯
If Mastodon isn't for you, check out some other places and you can still hangout with us. https://fediverse.network can help you out. The fediverse is a big and old place and it has lots of little corners. Don't let them box you in.
Also, they have horizontal traffic lights here.

Hey people -- is there a way to boost a random toot you've found online? (i.e. you only have the original URL)
It looks like you can only boost it if you somehow bring it into one of your instances' timelines?
