@Areya My German is bad, but I just about recognise enough of that word so that I would completely believe that to be true :grin:

"Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

It feels like Friday but it's only Thursday. I imagine there's a really long German word that specifically describes that feeling.

@Daily Thanks - it took me by surprise to be honest. I don't find that to be very intuitive. It copied the non-hidden text, and when you click "show more" it shows my intended reply

Did I just "quote toot" by mistake? Looks like it! It also looks like I'm plagiarizing @rateldajer. I only meant to reply :confused:

I just realized the content warning is going to be perfect for (spoilers!) Show more

I wrote a little Mastodon 101 yesterday.

If you are hosting a server/community and want me to blurb it in the post send me a message, with the blurb!

Already having to learn new terms on here - for example . Some user-friendly onboarding could be a great addition in future.

Must find mastodon before the new season starts :robot:

@Nafrondel It's a good sign when a book makes you accidentally stay up late. Thanks :smiley:

@Nafrondel Which of those would you recommend? Always on the lookout for sci fi book tips!

Totally tooting at work. Productivity: :chart_with_downwards_trend:

Quote toot would be nice. One of the very few improvements Twitter ever implemented. Although at what point do I stop comparing this to Twitter, and start thinking of it as its own thing?

It's kinda weird to think about a social network where businesses own their own presences, rather than relying on a capricious third party service like Twitter or Facebook. Imagine NBC or The Verge running a Mastodon instance for their reporters to toot from, or Bethesda operating an instance for PR and customer support. No more lost business when Facebook changes their algorithms again because they need more money from boosted posts.

Weird, right?

It's the remix to Twitter, all those devs they be bitter, users rollin in content but ain't no ads up in hither. Gimme that toot toot. Don't gimme that tweet tweet

@hauntedlatte it's 100% "retooting" in my head too.
