Ch.16 #Visibility
Having more followers does not make my posts more visible.
Following fewer people does not make my posts more visible.
Receiving faves does not make my posts more visible.
Woohoo 🎉 Today, we federated another great group of Flipboard curators, adding over 2,500 Flipboard Magazines to the fediverse on topics like history, climate, culture, space and education.
And check out these five newly federated Magazines we love:
Water: stories related to water issues curated by climate diplomacy expert Anna Schulz @water
Quantum: cutting edge physics from quantum mechanics to cosmology @quantum
S.T.E.A.M.E.D.: curating stories in science, technology, engineering, architecture, math, medicine, and design @s
Spyglass: curated by M.G. Siegler, a long-time technology investor and writer @spyglass
City Life: curated by George Hahn, a self-proclaimed urban raconteur and self-made thousandaire in pursuit of sartorial stealth and effective living @city
Wondering what a Magazine is? A Magazine is a curated feed of posts about a specific topic or interest that is followable, just like a profile.
Hi everyone! I'm a composer & audio developer. I also like fountain pens, mechanical keyboards, software-defined radio, leftist politics & learning new things.
My music tends toward the glitchy, noisy, microtonal side of things, and I like to use Max/MSP and incorporate audio samples from my software-defined radio hobby. You can find my music at my site, SoundCloud & YouTube:
Here's one of my compositions I'm particularly proud of. It's for trumpet, trombone, percussion, and MIDI keyboard. There are cheesy Yamaha DX7 synth sounds, microtonal brass, and glitchy, distorted noise.
I can't tell if we are having another #twitterMigration or not, things seem more chill this time. But I fell away after the last one, so a good time circle back and check in anyway...
How's everybody doing?
Finding yer peeps, or still feeling in the dark?
Any questions about logistics or culture? I will either answer or boost.
👇Also, mastodonians, drop your favorite soothing hashtags and fun bots for new folks to explore.
First time had a sign up where just my first time was 'available' as a username without any additional numbers or special character. Good to catch new social medium in its infancy. #introduction#newhere
Thanks to the great people I have met so far, I really think this will be a pivotal platform for my day-to-day internet life. Oh and click the link in the beginning of the post to read my first thoughts about you all. I am learning the best way to include all this stuff in a post 😎 #Fediverse#NewHere#introduction
I'm also a music nerd and #HotSauce lover and recently got back into the habit of reading #books. #VideoGames are also something that is dear to my heart.
Feel free to reach out if you want to talk about any of these topics. Welcome to the #FediVerse!
Hello! I'm Josh Steele "The Rev. Dev," a pastor-turned-programmer.
I was a #PhD Candidate in theology before quitting the PhD for the sake of my #family (wife and 3 kids) and #mentalhealth. After looking for church work (I'm an ordained priest), I did a #coding bootcamp (Tech Elevator), and now work as a full-time #softwareengineer.
Dank lieber Leute hab ich den Umzug ins CHAOS geschafft & stell mich kurz vor:
Ich bin Lili, trans femme um die 30, bin chronically online & nenne mich da Lilischote weil aeh klingt witziger?
Social Media nutze ich primär als Informationsquelle & um Aufklärung zu verbreiten. Vor allem Aufklärung & Repräsentation von #queer & #trans Themen, aber mittlerweile auch oft Gesellschaftspolitik.
Hello world, I'm new here, I come from the Frankfurt area of Germany, I'm in my late forties in the IT industry and I like to spend my time with photography, my dogs, books or in nature. I mainly photograph landscapes, nature, dogs and plants. … here’s to a good flight together. #NewHere#presentation round #introduction
We are Noe 🇪🇸 and Olive 🇫🇷. We have been living in Sydney for almost a decade when we decided it was time to see what Australia had to offer. We quit our jobs and packed our car to start the so-called Big Lap, a drive around the country.
We will be using this account to post updates of our journey as we discover things on our way.
Hallo #Mastodon! 👋 Wir bei Flipboard Deutschland freuen uns riesig Teil der Fediverse-Community zu werden. Die Welt der sozialen Netzwerke verändert sich rasant und wir sind gespannt darauf gemeinsam mit euch zu lernen.
Is it a thing that #mastodon limits how far back you can scroll in your “home” feed? I keep trying to scroll to posts from earlier than 4h ago and it won’t let me. Is this normal or a glitch?
