@daemon_nova Have you considered codeberg? codeberg.org (here's a guide I saved a few weeks ago - taggart-tech.com/migrate-to-co)

@vitloksbjorn @prahou It does take a bit of effort at first because you start with nothing, theres no algo and the overall activity of Fedi ebbs and flows. But it'll come. Start off by following interesting accounts. I see you only have a handful so far. Cheers!

@vitloksbjorn @prahou Be the void you'd like to see in the world. The one that talks back.

If it's engagement and community you want. Try engaging with others first before you start shouting into the timeline.

Everyone starts with 0 here. Put in some effort to build your micro community.

It's worth it.

@acsawdey @metin @bledley @mastodonmigration Yeah. I can't put my finger on it exactly. But there's always that sense that folks on bsky and threads have this air of self-importance and "influencer-iness" about them. That's not universal of course. I know social media is about "connections", but there's more to connecting than just getting followers. Fedi has always felt closer to the real thing in terms of just being human.

@bledley @mastodonmigration My experience and advice regarding "engagement" on Fedi --> shellsharks.com/notes/2023/09/. True even with 100's of followers too. Sometimes it's just quiet too ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Yo! Y'all might as well call me Tomatosharks for now on cuz CHECK THIS OUT shellsharks.com/gardenlog#plan. Yeah that's right. Tomatoesssss! I'ma dedicate my first BLT in a few weeks to Fedi got it?

Oh and they say Fedi's got not algo, but I swear the second I started posting about my gardening sidequests I started seeing (or just noticing?) all the gardening posts from everyone I already follow. Maybe I helped inspire some of y'all, or maybe it's just that time of year. Whatever it is. More plants plz

@mariajeperez @helendawe There's a lot of great IndieWeb folks here on Fedi! But another great place to socialize is 32-Bit Cafe (32bit.cafe/). I also publish a weekly newsletter thingy all about the IndieWeb (among other things) you could peruse if you'd like! (shellsharks.com/scrolls). As for next steps beyond that, maybe add some Slash Pages to your site! slashpages.net

See ya around! ๐Ÿ‘‹

@jerry @jcfarris @GossiTheDog @elonjet @ZuckJet Jerry affords his quite luxurious private transportation with all residual donations to infosec.exchange. Here's a shot of him paparazzi got recently.

@adelinawrites @len That never goes away. The more you learn, the more you realize you still don't know ๐Ÿ˜„. But it's been a lot of fun tinkerin' away on my own site, it's awesome you're discovering that too!

2025-05-14

@daemon_nova The thing is. You can't parse AI from actual humans these days. Just turn on the news (actually don't recommend this). It seems everything is devoid of humanity.

@talosman Not sure I understand ๐Ÿซค. But I'll give 50 schrutebucks to anyone who can help me get my RSS feeds to validate correctly! (standing offer)

@adam ๐Ÿคฃ. OMFG the little sentence towards the end of each post about what coffee they are having gets me every time.

Had to read like 10 of these and ask myself "is this me?!??" (y'know, me being a white, middle-aged, tech blogger I had to ask myself....AM I GENERIC?!?).

Maybe sometimes... but I like to think I'm better than this ๐Ÿ˜…
