@diyspaceprojects here it is! I think it has the “good” android mastodon apps in it.
@diyspaceprojects I agree the server selection was a dice roll. I figured with qoto and the stem theme I would find a bunch of people smarter than me posting about really cool things. The other thing I like about this instance is the “local” part has a trickle instead of rush of posts so I can see what’s going on and engage with people.
One thing I read earlier which helped me out is that the official mastodon app isn’t the best for iOS. I am using MetaText now and it has a proper home tab with people I follow, a local table showing the instance and a federated tab which is just a firehose of posts from a bunch of instances.
The tech and the rules like hashtags being encouraged but somehow I really like being out of my old Twitter “character”
I will try to find the post that helped me and share it under here!
@marathon0 I can’t imagine. Where I live is still really affordable. Before inflation cooled the market people would come from other states and overbid just because the home values were well below what they were used to seeing.

oh shit mastodon actually seems really good?
@jacqueline wow, that is amazing! I have only put together a gamebuino and I could not trust myself soldering that.
I have never heard of the mnt reform before but now I will keep that in mind!

hello tooters, would you like to see my laptop? it is an mnt reform that i hand soldered. it's modified to have a lily58 style split keyboard, and to take power via usb-c power delivery rather than a barrel jack. also it's pretty and gay.

A thought is but a fleeting reflection of reality on the jagged surface of our consciousness.
@marathon0 Beautiful and wow is Toronto big. I live in Pittsburgh and I feel like I could fit our downtown 3 times in that picture alone!
@diyspaceprojects it is definitely something with a learning curve! I am enjoying the high character limit so far. What do you think is the thing keeping you from loving it?

here's a free tip for all the #TwitterMigration people:
mastodon ONLY has text search for your toots, and the toots of people you follow, nothing beyond that, so you MUST use hashtags for others to be able to find things you post. And don't be afraid to use them - unlike the hellsite, mastodon doesn't limit your reach in any way based on how many hashtags or links you use in your posts :)
oh, and there's an edit button too 
@montalion I just left the bird app myself! Welcome :)

Curious what it takes to create your own patterns for Lux Lavalier? It's easy, with the power of #Pixelblaze by ElectroMage!
We've added a tutorial that'll have you writing them in just a few lines, even if you've never written a single line of code!

@jasoncoon that is cool! This might be something to get for my son. He loves lights and electronics and is also starting to ask about coding.
@glassnerves where do you go to get your chip tune fix?
@glassnerves I live chiptunes while I work. When I would run out of mobile data I would plug into my laptop and listen to this while I worked:

For anyone who needs to fill their timeline with more quality content here's a list of #makers and #electronics people I have come across on the Fediverse who have been active at some point in the last few months.
Apologies to anyone I've missed - please add yourselves in a comment!

@saxis glad you’re here! That’s a really good point. It’s a chance for me to reset on the negativity too. We are what we build!
