@desikitteh both! i stopped drinking coffee a month ago because it probably does weird things to my body, but i really like it. tea is also good. idk. :)
and you? ^-^
@desikitteh oh, yes i'm really only starting chats with people and then not thinking about the technicalities much, so i've never really paid attention to that :)
@nicolai yeah the google ones don't look too bad to me either. the animals, plants and food especially look pretty good for the most part, but many others are still not my thing.
@the_all hah, I can't do that either. I have 4-ish accounts but it's more like… one on mastodon.social where i first signed up (abandoned) one on an instance that i didn't enjoy as much as i hoped (abandoned), the one that i use, and one on another instance that i like, in case this one has issues (never used).
emojis just keep getting less adorable… i think emojione 2.3 is the only emoji set that I know of that I actually like?

So apparently there isn't an emoticon (emoji? always get them mixed up) for a white heart in the Android or iOS keyboards (at least, none that I've been able to find)... So when doing the NB flag in hearts, I've opted for the following, which you're welcome to use yourself if applicable:

Enjoy!

#introduction OH a thing for new users: Adding a cw to a post doesn't hide the images! It maybe should, but afaik currently you still have to use the nsfw button to hide images, even if you are using a content warning.

Hey fellow writers and people who like writing and/or reading and/or the written word:
The hashtags I've seen around are
- #writing (for generic writing stuff)
- #amwriting (for quotes and process stuff I think?)
- #tootfic / #mfic / #microfic (microfic+)
- #writingprompts (prompts)
(Are there any others?)
Also be aware of writing.exchange, which is a Mastodon instance dedicated to writers and the like (I'm @kibigo there)
…one other thing that is really cool right now is that so many people are advertising their Mastodon-related projects and there is so much stuff that I've never heard of yet! Excite! 🐾

Quick reminder (and heads-up for the new folks!) that the "Mastodon Creatives / Artists / Musicians / Illustrators / Animators / Filmmakers / Game Designers" sheet is a thing that exists, thanks to @pseudomichael - go take a look, and add yourself if you're a creative!

For all the newcomers ;
We're working on a website (https://fed.ialis.me/) to explain Mastodon, the Fediverse etc, and we need contributors, specially to write the content.
There is also a list of
interesting accounts to follow (https://fed.ialis.me/directory/). Feel free to pm @href or I if you want add some !
When I joined Mastodon, this article really helped me to understand some of its history, and some of the feelings of people who've been here longer: https://medium.com/@alliethehart/gameingers-are-dead-and-so-is-mastodon-705b535ed616
It starts out gloomy and has talk about Mastodon dying and such, but it is really a great analysis of how community and development of a network like Mastodon are intertwined, and how things can go wrong.

Historical note: ITS BEEN began as a spoof of / means of testing CW's when they were first introduced months and months ago and is probably one of the most Masto-specific memes
Don't let anyone pressure you to obey gravity
…I should have gone to bed an hour ago. Good night, 🐘🐩 :3
@wolfpurplemoon ooh that is good! yay! I'm glad they work for you :)
Thank you @Jules for showing me the rainbow ice cream.
