I'm so used to using the bird website and anything I care to follow is over there. Genuinely don't know what to even follow here. I guess I mostly have this as a back up of some sort?
Just kinda feel like I'm yelling into the void over here
@absolute_G0blin It looks like it's your third day on the Fediverse. It's a different paradigm here that takes a lot more manual exploration. Make a post with the #introduction tag so people with an eye out for new people can see that you're here and have a little more of a clue what you're about. From there the void you shout into gets less empty.
I also strongly recommend checking out the @FediTips and @FediFollows accounts, along with their associated sites (https://fedi.tips and https://fedi.directory respectively). They are really excellent resources operated by one of the most selfless volunteers on the fediverse
hi. i'm Kim, mid 30's, Asian, born and living in the Philippines. i suffer from chronic diseases which most probably include cancer (not yet diagnosed). i also have hidden disabilities, social anxiety disorder and some kind of expressive language disorder. due to my diseases, I've been subjected to discrimination and harassment, abuses from a number of people... I'm new here and i loving the fediverse so far, still exploring
You might want to post an introduction using the #introduction hashtag.
Because Mastodon doesn't have an AI to push posts to people, people follow both hashtags and people, so their timelines have exactly what they are interested in reading.
#introduction Hey there y'all! I'm Sol (although that's a pseudonym), I'm a musician and a student in the New York area, and I'm very new to Mastodon and similar sites.
I use all pronouns, so don't worry about accidentally using the wrong ones.
I'm bisexual, but I do have a partner, so don't hit on me lol (thats a joke btw)
uhh yeah I might sound weird at times, I'm VERY neuroatypical, I have ADD (ADHD minus the hyperactive) and maybe Autism or at least a lot of autistic tendencies (looking back on that, it sounds a bit rude towards people actually on the spectrum , i mean no harm i just dont know how to word things better)
Somethings i like:
Books
Minecraft
Music
Any kind of computer science
Thanks for looking at my words, and have a good day!
Hey'all! We're BlueBuild, a FOSS community project focused on making the customization of image-based atomic Linux distributions a breeze. (atomic @fedora, @UniversalBlue
i was doing weird research on the dead bird- a postmortem if u can call it that. and they really dont want anyone to know how the platform works. but its super obvious that they hate ethnic ppl. and are converting it to white dude supremacy central.
i like a nice collaborative vibe. and cool nice ppl, not being mean, just hanging out. randomly saying hello or learning from each other. so far i love the platform (hr 3)
Let's say we don't care about the backendfrontend interconnection we see in most JS frameworks. We just want to program the backend. What would be the language of your choice?
Whatever language you chose you might want to also look at the htmx JS library. It lets you write in your html snippets better interactivity without actually needing to write JS. It basically lets you do things like when you click on an element, it can make a request to your server and replace some other element with the contents your server responds with - all with attributes on HTML tags instead of writing JS. This lets you keep all the state on the backend and lets you write more backend logic without only relying on full page refreshes to update small sections of the page.
For a backend language I would use rust as that is what I am most familiar with now and enjoy using the most. Most languages are adequate at serving backend code though so it is hard to go wrong with anything that you enjoy using. Though with rust I tend to find I have fewer issues when I deploy something as appose to other languages which can cause all sorts of runtime errors as they let you ignore the error paths by default.
Hello everyone! Inspired by friends, I'm excited to start this new social adventure. While I've enjoyed my time on mainstream social media, it often feels more like a battleground than a community. I'm here to engage in genuine conversations and connect with others without the constraints of age, gender, or any other labels. I might not post often, but I'll definitely savor the stories and insights you all share.
Thank you for welcoming me into this vibrant community—looking forward to our exchanges!
Into #ttrpgs since the mid-90s, mostly playing #osr-style #dnd, #callofcthulhu, #shadowrun, #dsa, #harnworld, but open to others.
I write (not as often as I want) and paint (even less), and post moody b/w photos on my pixelfed.
In IT and might talk about some obscure computer stuff.
My first post on Mastodon! Hi, I'm Danyal. You can call me Danny :) I'm working as a GP and trying to find suitable positions to get My research career started and become a different kind of Doctor ;)

Love Jaden xxx #introduction#introductions
Hello Fediverse. This is my #Introduction. I'm an audiovisual and editorial #translator looking to connect with fellow #translators and #language lovers to exchange ideas on: why languages are great, why translation is amazing, and how we can navigate the #translation industry now AI is becoming more and more impactful. #Xl8
I’ve migrated servers and am here to re-introduce myself to the fediverse.
I’m Cris, 40+, and living in Alaska. I’m a knitter, gamer, and work-from-home-er. I’m also slowly teaching myself SwiftUI and perpetually thinking I should set up an Etsy shop.
um hi! i go by basil or baz, my pronouns are he/him and i may or may not eventually post but i wanted to do an introduction post rn to kinda get the ball rolling? i'm mostly just here to read other people's posts but i do have thoughts...i guess
Old punk / goth trying to re-connect with his core values.
DayJob™️ project manager for development team. Ethical e-commerce. Trying to do good.
RealLife™️ occasionally writing and recording music; have also decided to start building guitars; prefer slow technology and FOSS, spending time in the garden making it suitable for food, beauty and birds; reading a lot of books about Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire.
Music is important to me, I love listening and singing (have been taking singing lessons for the past 6 years, currently on hiatus since 2022 though). My #music taste is very eclactic!
love watching tv-series and movies, and some streamers.
I love #stationery, I have a lot of #pens and enjoy #fountainpens, i have also fountain pen inks, use a analog planner and journal regurlary. I also have washi tape and stickers
I also love colouring, so have enough colouring pencils and markers!
i'm writing a fresh introduction for this new instance. something i haven't done for a while.
i'm a serial #fediverse instance creator (and destroyer) and have been doing this since 2018. many will already be familiar with my name or my avatar.
i'm a father of two awesome kids. i'm a huge fan of movies. i'm a gamer (#callofduty and #battlefield mostly). i'm a fan of #taylorswift. i eat to #run. i'm a huge #starwars and #startrek nerd. i'm a born and raised #engineer and have spent most of my career as a devops engineer and sre, though now i lead a most excellent team of devs and sres.
my permanent home is at https://ultramookie.com where i should be writing more blog posts and movie reviews.
If you were to create a Fediverse server, with frontend being plan simple HTML only, what programming language and stack would you choose?
