Another #mastodon question for the enquiring noob...

Do instances list an erm, list, of custom emoji? I can't seem to find one for this particular instance.

This one is for all the new people on #Mastodon: did you know that the #fediverse has more than just a microblogging replacement? And that they can all interoperate with your Mastodon account?

Did you know that you can play Curse of Monkey Island on a small device such as the Miyoo Mini?

I really like the way Mastodon can have instances centralized around common interests. It's like Twitter Topics but done right.

If you came here from Twitter in the last week, Reply below and boost this post so others can find you.

Mastodon and Twitter can coexist. Mastodon is for smart content, Twitter is for watching Elon Musk own himself.

People treating cell phones like they treat Mastodon: "ok...so you're saying I get a phone number, but I have to pick a provider? wtf that sounds like work...but I can call you even if you're using a different one, because they all talk to each other? so fucking confused rn"

I hope all you new folks are learning to re-discover what the web was meant to be.

go adventure, find trouble, make friends.

Let's smash the social media silos together.

KEEP IN MIND! #Mastodon doesn't work like #Twitter!

Have you just made the #Twexit or the #TwitterMigration?

Favorites ⭐ - they're not "likes". They don't "elevate" posts, they just the poster know you liked their post.

Boosts 🔁 - these push someone's post into your friends feeds (and help discovery).

So if you ⭐ my posts, that's great (and I love you too)!

But if you 🔁 posts, then more people see them!

OH! - #Hashtags are how you search!

Picking a Mastodon instance is a lot like picking a Linux distro. It seems complicated because you get a lot more options but it doesn't really matter and you don't have to commit to one to the exclusion of others if you find that you don't like the one you picked first.
