My favorite thing about Mastodon so far is that all of a sudden I have posts about history, archaeology, astrophysics etc in my timeline because even though I follow mostly the same people here as tweeter everyone branched out once they got here and started boosting cool people they ran into here.

✅ All links on Mastodon count as 23 characters, no matter how long they really are

URLs can be as long as you want, they will never exceed 23 characters of your limit.

There is no need to use a link shortener!

I share MANY teaching resources at my Websites of the Day blog and my Education Week column. I won't share them all here on Mastodon, but I do think folks might be interested in my new Ed Week post, featuring educators Neema Avashia and Jennifer Orr.

If your podcast is hosted on @Castopod your audience can listen to your episodes from @Mastodon but also like, share and comment them!

Mastodon is perfect for GenX because we’re all just roaming from house to house totally unsupervised and unless something goes really wrong nobody cares #GenX

We made this tool public for anyone to use—just type in a website to reveal its tracking #technology (or technologies) at themarkup.org/blacklight.

Somebody today posted about including your preferred #pronouns in your #bio. (I'm sorry I've lost the toot, I looked!)

I've resisted for a very long time, but today I was convinced because of a single phrase: "make this the norm".

Right. Because anyone who "has to" include their pronouns is feeling super awkward by doing so.

I have no idea why it's taken me this long to figure out that, by us all doing it, it's a way to care for others that directly impacts them.

Off to fix that now...

What if the universe is set up just like the Fediverse, but we don’t know about the existence of any other life because our Earth instance was preemptively blocked for hateful conduct.

Understanding #Mastodon gets easier once you get the basic idea that federation between servers can be understood as homeomorphisms across hyperplanes between the Riemannian manifolds of toots, whereas the servers represent countable finite sets of discrete entities.

So many options in the QOTO preferences ❤️
Under Preferences, Other... scroll down and look at your options under QOTO FEATURES. I turned on the Show follow button on timeline and Reflect the following status on the follow button.
Go personalize your own space, it's nice to set it up like 'home'!

And now I can see GIFs in action on my feed!
Seriously, start looking around in those settings and clicking things.

THIS one change in my settings changed my screen to look more like Tweetdeck.
I can now easily follow a collection of hashtags all in one column!
Hat tip to @tonyvincent !

#️⃣ This video helped me add a column to Mastodon that contains various hashtags I want to follow.

I'm still figuring it out here (the learning curve is sure to last awhile I think) - @mguhlin are you also on qoto.org? Do people usually join more than one instance?
