@Ricardus While I'm not sure whether I'm neurodivergent, it also bugs me. I eventually realized that I had misunderstood the word "sorry". Its meaning is a much broader than I had previously thought. While it is often used to indicate contrition during an apology, it can also just mean sadness or sympathy. When I'm offering sympathy, I've settled on "I'm sorry to hear that."

@ParadeGrotesque Do you think a warning in the instance's About page would help?

@drhonor It's kinda like Twitter, in that it is a microblogging system, but it's also kinda like email in that different people can have different accounts on different servers/domains, which are called "instances" here.Here is an introductory tutorial video I found:"Mastodon: Your Gateway To The Fediverse"https://youtu.be/ntFfKcbPvmIHere is the official manual/documentation:https://docs.joinmastodon.org/

@drhonor You can follow people on different instances (so long as the instance isn't blocked by yourself or instance-wide by the local moderators). You have your Home feed, which shows you posts ("toots") from people you follow. The Local feed shows posts from others on the same instance. The Federated feed shows outside posts that have been pulled into the local instance by local followers.

Running a server takes time and money. To help with the latter, many Mastodon servers accept donations. My instance is @SDF. Its donation page is https://sdf.org/?subscribeIf you would like to support this instance, scroll to the bottom for “Support SDF’s efforts in the Fediverse.”

The attached image is a nice flowchart that shows in which timeline a toot will appear.See also https://fosstodon.org/@floppy/109254117687479589

An "#introduction" post with a bunch of hashtags for your interests will help others with those same interests find you.

I have a few pending follows but where can I check on them? I don't see anyplace in the Mastodon UI that shows a list of pending follows?

@SDF I already know that. The problem is that there's nowhere to see a list of pending follows where I can then try to do that.

The official Mastodon app was missing too many features compared to the web UI, but Tusky seems great so far.

@SDF Should users who had created accounts between Nov 21st and the crash wait for their accounts to be restored? Or should they just recreate them?
