A few months ago I stopped crossposting from Twitter to Mastodon. Why? I discovered (as many of you have) that it's a completely different vibe here. Different people. Different habits. Different interests. Zero algorithms. And people here are more interested in deeper conversations. Combined with the extra characters and (gasp!) actual editing capabilities, I'm making an effort to post unique content here that isn't just copied from Twitter. LET'S GO!

@rjasmin Welcome! The best place for serious questions is #AskFediverse. The only sacrifices required are voodoo dolls in the shape of a certain birdsite logo.

@RobLoach Sorry, not off the top of my head (brain is a bit fried today). But I will absolutely boost quality posts. I need to follow more people myself, so thanks for the reminder!

@killyourfm That's an interesting viewpoint. I'm still new to the fediverse so perhaps I'm still becoming acclimated to it.I can say that I have noticed the different vibe here. It's a different atmosphere than Twitter.

@killyourfm I really appreciate this move of yours. I usually stop following people who just cross-post.Even though a fair share of my posts are the same both on Mastodon and Twitter, I've never done cross-posting. IMO the fact that you're willing to post the message manually is a sign that you're also ready to have interactions with your followers which is the essence for social media.

@killyourfm That's an important realization. Took me a minute to get this myself. I've resolved to stop being that guy that jumps up and down in the crowd trying to get noticed, and instead add value in real conversations.

@geewiz It's because that realization goes against everything social media has beat into our heads for the last decade. That likes and shares are some kind of valuable currency.

@killyourfm btw: @Sammy8806 the admin of our instance (layer8.space) is running a patreon to fund the operation. Currently it's at 8 patrons. That could be better. Because we should not forget, that all this amazing infrastructure is run by volunteers who are frequently paying for it out of their own pockets.So here is my appeal to everyone: check if you can support your local instance and do so (if you can afford it).

One more thought: I'm actually compelled to post LESS here, because I know the responses will typically be lengthier and thoughtful. And there will be MORE of them, despite having a significantly smaller following here than on Twitter. And so, I want to post less so that I'm able to actually respond to you and engage in a meaningful conversation. (What @mmclark just said: the signal/noise ratio here IS excellent.)

@killyourfm could you recommend how to get started here on Mastodon? I’ve just arrived and am having a hard time setting up a “group” of people/topics that fits my interests. I’m not even sure if this description applies to how Mastodon works.

@Geoff_Lusk Start by following @feditips and visiting their site (https://fedi.tips). It's a great resource and will probably answer a lot of your questions. Maybe #AskFediverse can recommend some intro videos for new people?

@justforfun @schykle Not speaking for him, but I think Schykle needs to do his own thing on the writing front. Build an audience on a platform that he owns and controls.

@killyourfm your post is an inspiration to me, and this is because I have been struggling to balance what I post and where. I monitor both my accounts and I wouldn’t say that I am crossposting FROM Twitter but rather I am double-posting what I find intriguing.My main problem here is the lack of a GAMING instance, so most of my toots end up in /dev/null. Most, not all.I was even thinking of giving birth to such an instance but I am afraid of failure. 🥲

@DarthChillash If you recognize a need, I say fill that need. You can create it and self-host it, or use something like @mastohost

@killyourfm @justforfun I think you're right! It's hard as someone that just wants things to be set up for me and clean cut from the start.Selfhosting has never been my jam, but more recently, after setting up this instance for myself too, I kinda want to have a little corner of the world for each of my passions.#Mastodon seems to nail the social element.#Pixelfed for my photography (still need a host)And #WriteFreely for my writing!
