Great explainer on the Mastodon information flow, by @axbom. https://axbom.com/mastodon-tips/

Last (and only F2F) T&I all-hands meeting at SURF under the GN4-3 project (which ends this December). In the last 4 years: we grew #eduGAIN and #eduroam, launched #InAcademia, turned #eduTEAMS into a customisable service to offer AAI as service for the research collaborations!

Proud and honoured to work with Licia Florio and all the other T&I colleagues in the GÉANT community!

Let’s try this again. Where you at #fediverse? Boosts welcome so we can get the best sample size.

If you download your #Twitter archive it arrives wrapped as a static HTML page, which is not very useful for doing anything with, and worse: it requires the original account to be still active to do useful things like enlarge the images since they use t.co links.

So here's a #Python script to convert a Twitter archive to #markdown or other formats: https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Now you can archive your tweets in any way you want.

“Whosoever pulleth this bicycle from this stone shall be crowned rightwise king of the Netherlands”

If you have a toot problem you should see a mastodontist.

Command line and curses Mastodon client! Now we're talking. And macOS/Brew users can just "brew install toot".

Nerd out.

Do you have a WordPress blog?

You can turn it into a Fediverse server using a simple plug-in. This means that people on Mastodon can follow it just like they follow any account on here.

Here's more info about how to do it:

(NOTE: This doesn't work on free blogs hosted by wordpress.com)

The plugin is totally free. If you appreciate the plugin, remember to send its maker @pfefferle some donations at https://notiz.blog/donate

Saw somebody on The Bad Place saying that joining Mastodon and finding all your people again feels a bit like surviving a zombie apocalypse and your heart lifting every time one of your friends walks into the compound, battle-scarred but alive. I can’t find the original tweet now, so I’m sorry not to give credit. But I keep feeling like that whenever someone I recognise pops up.

Managed to make @ maarten@ balliauw.be discoverable on Mastodon.

If you're interested in using your own domain for discoverability, much like good old e-mail forwarders, here you go: https://blog.maartenballiauw.be/post/2022/11/05/mastodon-own-donain-without-hosting-server.html
