Messing about in boats.
A short video from today's paddle on The Thames. (I was originally exploring media support on mastodon - max video length seems to be 30s, so serving via Vimeo instead... and wondering if it gets embedded, or just a link)

My fingers are used to confining updates to 140 characters... I wonder how long it will take my brain to expand into the increase in space.

@davidhughes I see you quietly hiding over there in the corner ;)...

... and first impressions of the iOS companion app Amaroq are pretty positive too .... and I really like the safety options when tooting... I guess only follow or host people who use the tools effectively

Is there a (trustworthy) look-up tool, to match twitter accounts to mastadon account?

For now, I'm mostly just talking into the wind, until I can find a great community (or communities) to be a part of.

I suppose the first question is - to deploy my own instance, or to reply on another person/group?

Second question - how easy is it to export/import?
