Mastodeez nuts

[-] Cuteblooded@programming.dev 34 points 2 years ago

Okay, so I never used Twitter but figured I'd give Mastodon a try.
But what do you even do there? Is it just a place where you wait for specific people to shout into the void? And then what?
Also how do I even find interesting subjects or people to follow?

[-] nick@campfyre.nickwebster.dev 18 points 2 years ago

Twitter/microblogging is a weird thing in general but you seem to have the idea. It can be useful for following events or people who write interesting things.

Mastodon hashtags are the way to discover conversations and people to follow, they go across instances in search.

Those words don't make sense to someone new to this

[-] nick@campfyre.nickwebster.dev 3 points 2 years ago

I feel like twitter has been around long enough that people that want to use a platform like it will be aware of the concept of a hashtag for finding posts on a topic, etc.

I just love the fact that Mark Ruffalo is using Mastodon

[-] nils@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Sometimes it's useful following specific projects or organizations you're interested in to be notified when anything interesting is going on. In a way similar to an RSS feed I suppose

Essentially a web feed to have a single timeline from multiple sources. Think of it as Google News but you manually choose the sources and it's chronological.

@Cuteblooded @Troll I just follow a bunch of people and hashtags. Anybody suggests following something or someone I do. It's easy to unfollow if you end up not liking the content from someone or some hashtag.

[-] PGBeattie@mastodonapp.uk 2 points 2 years ago

@Cuteblooded @Troll shout into the void... Or voice an opinion... If enough of us voice an opinion it might change things... the alternative is keeping silent and that is not mentally healthy

[-] josh@phocks.eu.org 2 points 2 years ago

@Cuteblooded @Troll just keep posting and follow some interesting people you'll get it

[-] Blazingflames6073@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I always had the same issue the few times I tried to use mastodon and twitter.

[-] planish@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Yes?

You can also shout into the void yourself. Eventually somebody might notice and reply.

You can watch the local or federated timelines and if someone says something interesting you can follow them and reply. Or you if you get linked from elsewhere to a good post you can follow the author. Or you can see a list of popular hashtags (or look up a hashtag) and see posts in them, or post to them.

What else is there supposed to be to do there?

[-] bytebro@mastodonapp.uk 2 points 2 years ago

@Cuteblooded @Troll I found that posting about stuff that interests me, following bright people who respond, and using hashtags is not a bad way to start. And check the local feed and the fedi feed from time to time to find new people to interact with.

@Cuteblooded @Troll You can find topics using hashtags (#).

@Cuteblooded ahhah, if you stare into the void, the void stares back at you. (just reposted your lemmy post to the void/mastodon 😅)

Me opening the door thinking you're referring to the band

Why yes, I do have a moment to SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER

[-] 6daemonbag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Best album. I'll never get over the opening line: I THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL MEEEEE

I THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TRYING TO KILL ME

[-] sp00nix@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

I saw them when they opened for Primus. Killer show.

[-] Kizaing@lemmy.kizaing.ca 13 points 2 years ago

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

[-] SmartDebbie@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

I thought we're gonna talk about a music band, aren't we?

[-] Climinteedus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I saw them for the first time during the Unheavenly Skye tour.

My first time seeing Coheed too!

It was one hell of a show.

[-] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

I'm having fun there, though there are a good amount of spammers there already.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

I know all about Mastodon. Been doing it just about everyday for years, sometimes twice a day!

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Problem for me is that Twitter for me is about the official announcement-y things which aren't leaving lol. It's not great, but for football news all the journalists are still there, and so are the clubs.

[-] kspatlas@kbin.cafe 6 points 2 years ago

Look up nitter

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

The way to get that to change is to not go to Twitter, and if any of those people have another outlet, read and interact with that one.
