I just wrote a huge entry about the Fediverse here. It is a guide with all sorts of tips and explanations, and links to many useful pages. Please feel free to share it with anyone who may be interested in joining. Note, though, that I am not the type to care if you're on a mainstream platform or not. Thi sis just meant as a guide for those who may need it, not as a way of bashing those who use non-Fediverse platforms. As a side note, Dreamwidth is one of my favourite sites on the Internet, precisely because of its wonderful accessibility.

If you would rather read it on Reddit, here is the same post there.

Handy tip for Safari screencasts: Preferences -> Websites -> Page Zoom -> (host).

When I started screen recording web apps I always hit Cmd-Plus to zoom in, but that resets on page change. I switched to adding a CSS "zoom" override, but that interfered with UI element widths.

A better approach is to override the page zoom by host in Safari's preferences. My screencasts are usually on localhost, so it doesn't interfere with my other browser tabs and windows.

Beginners tip:

Mastodon does not have an algorithm, rather you see posts on a timeline.
Which means your favourite posters can get lost downriver pretty quick.

Make a LIST and call it ‘A-List’ (or something) and add you most favourite posters to it.

Now you can easily catch up on the good stuff.
