peterrowlett [old account] @peterrowlett@octodon.social

I was here briefly, now I moved to another instance. I'm really @peterrowlett

So there is an instance called oulipo.social, and both its interface and its users completely avoid the letter E. This is all sorts of awesome

@christianp @ColinTheMathmo I notice that CLP's toot about pi appeared on my home timeline, but his follow up mastodon.social/users/christia didn't. Because it was a reply (to himself)?

@ColinTheMathmo hmm. In this case, the two results I see are from Octodon (my instance). But when I searched /#maths earlier I saw results from others.

@ColinTheMathmo I don't know. If I type, say, "juggling" into the search box it says "1 result: ". Then I click on and a column (off the right of my screen) opens with two results. I'm unsure if that is all the results or really what is happening.

@ColinTheMathmo yes, but with Twitter search I could do something like this and get some sort of result: twitter.com/search?q=Mastodon%
Here, it seems to be I can only search hashtags.

@ColinTheMathmo this in particular is a mess! hackertribe.io/users/peterrowl
If I type @peterrow.... into the message box, I get two users appearing - me and my duplicate (and my duplicate comes first!).

@ColinTheMathmo they aren't all on my instance, either. Not sure. I can't seem to search for a term that isn't a hashtag, which is quite annoying.

Followed a few people who used and , since I teach that.

By which I apparently mean @christianp. Finding this confusing.

Erm. Hello! Trying this because @christianp recommended it.
