I knew Mastadon was missing something…

Are there any open instances with .onion addresses?

@cliffcheney Imported my follows from mastodon.social and setup a new account on mastodon.cloud. Did it because mastodon.social is pretty full. If I (and other people) stop using it, it'll become a better place! 30K users is too much.

i hope william shatner is just quietly watching the feed and going "what the fuck r they talking about"

William Shatner is a meme on Mastadon and he doesn't even know. Because he can't find us.

So you can export your following list and then reimport it on another instance? There should be a federated migration tool. Allow us to shift between nodes. Notify followers to shift their follow. You could load balance the Federation this way. Encourage users to migrate with incentives? But, what incentives? Cookies?

so what happens when mastodon becomes 100x larger ... federated timeline turns into a slot machine reel?

Not to be all Shatner, how do we find people across the Federation? (See what I did there?)

I just discovered that I thought it was OK to use founder to mean flounder… I should probably send back my MA degree now…

Oh dear god. The Amaroq iphone app for MAstadon is melting my Apple Watch with notifications.

Is there a central site for info on the Federated activity on Mastadon? Or is this a situation where I am welcome to build it?

My mentions here are already 10x as active as my Twitter mentions, but mostly from people I don't know. Hold me, I'm frightened.

I'm just here trying to understand what I'm doing here

What was that decentralized social network that was supposed to compete with facebook a couple years back?

For some reason fledgling social networks make me think about dubstep.
