Hello world! #introduction

#introduction #aboutme #vegetarian #nonviolence #doctorwho #amWriting #punkrock #peace #mentalhealth #startrek #writer #intersectionality

Hi. This blog mostly features my adorable cats, Joey and Sheena. Thank you for occasionally indulging me when I post non-feline things.

I just published my novel, Water Dogs. It's the best book about midwestern teens from the 1970s discovering punk rock and saving the universe that I've ever written. Please buy lots of copies from Barnes & Noble (or Amazon).

Hello to all of you people of mastodon! 🤗
This is my #introduction
Here I will share stuff and links that I would like more people to know, I will also try to write some reflexions and though on my projects. I live in Normandy, France. My current topics of interests are various: #programming #bike #osm #climatechange #selfhosting #freeSoftware #linux #maps #openstreetmap #wikidata #rust #python
I speak french 🇫🇷 and english 🇬🇧 .

#introduction

Hiya everyone! I'm Noo, an Australian #indiecomics author, artist, and a refugee from #tumblr after they pulled a Deviantart!

I'll primarily be posting my #art and #writing stuff, plus the occasional shitpost.

Glad to be here, big fan of open-source, decentralised stuff, Linux and not having algorithmic content shoved down your gob.

Can't wait to meet some fellow indie comics peeps too!

~$ echo "Hello World"
Hi Fediverse, I'm a small humble new programmer who happens to stumble upon the Fedi world. I like a fresh cup of tea to sip every morning, and a small music piece to listen to every night. Would love talking to some people, and secretly following them. o/

Journey with self hosting for personal blog and fediverse

@selfhosted

Hello, I followed the "selfhosted" instance on LemmyWorld in order to be able to talk about my experiences having them in order, without confusing criteria into Fediverse. Hoping they can be useful to others.

Current setup: Hostinger vps kvm2 plan, Debian12, YunoHost, Hostinger's docker manager installed.

Personal background: blind since birth, (I don't see), I'm mostly a computer power-user, worked and studied with ms-dos since 1989 until late 90s. Basic GNU/Linux knowledge in 2002, then interrupted in 2004.

I don't care talking about disability when discussing unrelated topics but it's necessary in this case as my needs are quite different from others.

So, I've been scared by self-hosting and have had shared hosting web sites until now. Until @_elena started self hosting her digital echosystem from scratch using YunoHost.

Due to lack of drivers I stopped with Linux on my private machine, drivers for the Braille display I had, and then the uneffective (at least for my need) screen reader capabilities on Linux's GUI based distros.

Finally in January 2026 I jumped in the dark after reading Elena Rossini's blog about YunoHost and having explored their demo pages. At the worst, I'll cancel the contract...

In the end I've managed to run WriteFreely, WordPress, CastoPod and GoToSocial, just by YunoHost; but if someone says terminal knowledge is not needed, this is a complete lie.

Where a system (such as YunoHost) can do the dirty work configuring postfix and nginx, I'll support it but it has its disadvantages: not every app can be installed through it.

For me it's very difficult to create and look after a config file on my own, it's frustrating for a sighted to miss a punctuation sign, an apostrophe, an indent. Let alone for me! A single space skipped, can crash a system.

A lie even saying that AI completely helps. It does solve some small, simple, immediate tasks but it has some mistakes as well. The so-called allucinations which create a real mess if you can rely on no personal skill.

Such as "sudo yunohost tools cert-install", or similar. AI wrote "cert-install" while the real command is "cert install"! A power user can get rid of it and correct, a beginner with no command-line knowledge, just copies, pastes, and gets scared.

My late attempt has been Madblog, a static markdown-based blogging platform with Fediverse activitypub in it, so I learned what Docker is and how it basically works. But I gave up, due to several timeouts and activitypub slow-downs. I think I'm going to use WordPress for blogging then. In case of comments it'll be more intuitive for non-fediverse folks.

Hopefully share others' experiences as well!

Je suis autiste. Diagnostiqué (trop) tard, j'essaye de prendre ma revanche en propageant de la vulgarisation où en apportant mon aide comme je le peux à celles et ceux qui sont concernées dans la limite de mon handicap et de l'énergie que les contraintes de la vie me laisse.

Je suis impliqué dans le collectif entraide autisme 44 qui organise un café-rencontre en non-mixité où j'essaye de participer à en faire un lieu d'accueil et de soutien qui permet à celles et ceux qui en ont besoin de rompre leur isolement. Je me suis souvent senti seul dans la vie et ai parfois été mis à l'écart et je ne veux plus que d'autres dans ma situation vivent cette détresse.

#introduction Bonjour, I'm Marc (a.k.a. "T0K_"), a #phd student working on #privacy -preserving technologies. Outside the lab, I spend my time playing #videogames and losing #ctf challenges.

With this account, I'll promote some of my academic work . I might also engage in stupid and vibrant debates about random geeky stuffs .

I'm not entirely sure yet what I'll do with this Mastodon account, so I don't exclude the possibility of some cat pics or even some shitposting

Time for my (or rather our) #introduction we are Peritia, a #queer #DID system,

Current Occupation: Sysadmin
So expect some #IT related things.
We joined Mastodon to validate the existence of our own instance.

Cause: Decentralization good. Corporate data hoarding bad.

#dmsopen, especially if youre queer #furry like linux, or have cute pet pics.
Will Follow back.

Just to manifest this finds some cool people and keep away idiots:
#Nonbinary #TransRights #NoAI

M’yello. I am giving Mastodon another shot. So here’s another #introduction :

I am a #TwitterRefugee from The Great Migration.
I love humor, jokes and funny toots.
I love to read. Mostly horror and thriller.
I love art doodling and music.

Also, not that it defines my life, but I am just now embracing my #ADHD and how it affects my daily existence.

#ff

I should introduce myself, Hey I'm Samantha. The Founder of VEX.blue, where I run brands such as Break3 Studios & Break3 Gaming along with created tools such as BirdConvert for the Fediverse.

As I've moved over to Break3.social, I felt it was right to explain who I am, What I do, along with what you can expect from me.

Hi, I'm brand new to Mastodon so figuring out the lay of the land 😄. My name is Veros(she/her) and I'm 36. I'm a book blogger. I mostly read Fantasy but Sci-Fi, Romance, Hist Fic, Horror, and Mystery are in the mix. I'm a big fan of supporting indie authors.

I'm also into gaming (board games & video games), crafting, and metal music.
I want to immerse myself in art and human connection and avoid AI forever.

#introduction

I'm a green lefty antifascist.

I actually enjoy computers. I like lisps and spend my days coding in clojure and continually reconfiguring my Emacs. I've almost got it right.

I try to use my powers for good. I hope I'm succeeding.

I really enjoy cycling. I like gardening but can kill a cactus.

I enjoy watching and reading sci fi.

Hi, I'm Adam. Just landed here following outage of the pol.social instance.

I'm playing guitar in a post-punk band Sonda Kosmos (new account to appear here soon as well) and making some ambient noises in #WAVE555 project. Living in Warsaw, Poland, travelling a lot, plant-based.

My first goal here will be to reconstruct my following/followers base, as the migration is impossible due to the current circumstances (and very likely will not be possible in the future).

#introduction #polsocial

Hej, jestem Adam, byłem wcześniej na polsocialu, ale ten chyba już nie wstanie, więc - jak wiele innych osób - nie mam jak zmigrować konta. Smuteczek, ale uroki fediwersu pozwalają w takich sytuacjach iść naprzód, choćby bardziej "od podstaw".

Krótko o mnie - gram na gitarze: postpunki (Sonda Kosmos - nowe konto także wkrótce się pojawi, muzyka - też wkrótce, ale pewnie chwilę później) i m.in. na gitarze, ale także na DYI synthach ambienty (#WAVE555 - bez konta, za to z hashtagiem), mieszkam w default city, ale lubię podróżować (właśnie zjeździłem lubuskie wzdłuż i wszerz i było super), nie jem niczego co ma oczy i bardzo polecam ten styl życia.

Postaram się odtworzyć bazę obserwowanych, jeśli macie ochotę, obserwujcie też mnie. Mam nadzieję, że przygoda na tej instancji będzie bardziej stabilna.

Postaram się nie odtwarzać bazy wyciszonych/zbanowanych. ;)

Będę wdzięczny za retuty w celu odnowienia kontaktów.

👋 Hi, I’m Mark — welcome! This is my #introduction.

I share a mix of #philosophy (#Objectivism), #Perl coding, and the occasional nonsense. You might also see #ballroom #dance, #cosplay, and #music on #BassGuitar — sometimes all in the same week.

For a great starting point on Rand, try _The #AynRand Reader_: https://aynrand.org/novels/the-ayn-rand-reader/

You’ll find me every year at at #DragonCon in #Atlanta, plus #DeltaHCon and #Comicpalooza here in #Houston.

Glad you’re here — pull up a chair.

Hi! I'm Tommy. I'm a musician, producer, DJ, and a photographer, among some other hobbies!

If you like what I do, please consider supporting me by buying my music (https://cobalt-fi.bandcamp.com/) or getting me something from my Throne wishlist (https://throne.com/tommyswanson)!

#introduction

Hello! I'm stage. Although I write from Valencia 🥘 I am from La Mancha . I can also speak in Spanish, and can try in Catalan and Japanese.

Since there are a thousand things that are relevant to my interests you may see me writing about something like this: coding and demoscene 💻, languages 🔤, trains 🚋, geography 🗺️, heraldry 🛡️, vexillology 🚩, ham radio 📻, art 🎨, music 🎵, video games 🎮, Touhou Project ⛩️, Japan 🗾, La Mancha , typography ✍️ and sometimes, my experiments with all sorts of LEDs and screens for drone purposes.

This is a trans-inclusive , feminist and far-left oriented account. Fascists, racists, homophobes, bootlickers, conspiracy theorists and cryptobros are not tolerated.

For anything else, commons sense applies. Don't be worried to interact with me. Welcome!

I’ve been on fedi for 3 years, so I’m taking the opportunity of #PortfolioDay to make a proper #introduction !

My name is Nighten and I love to draw very detailed illustration about city and nature. Most of my artworks are set in the same continuity and universe, see if you can spot the link between them!

Most importantly, I publish a weekly art newsletter where I dive deep into my art, project and inspiration. I think it’s very good so feel free to join and read the archive! :)

(You even get free coloring pages by subscribing!)

And thank you if you decide to follow me! I hope my art will bring you joy 🌸
