I am squatting at https://mastodon.social/@brendes, lurking silently until more scientists show up.
Anxiously awaiting biologists, bioinformaticists, and other scientists to arrive to Mastodon en masse. So far scientists seem to be firmly entrenched in the blue bird site. Any recommendations along these lines would be sincerely appreciated! I am squatting at https://mastodon.social/@brendes , lurking silently until more scientists show up.
I just want to know if it's the same person. It would be a big coincidence if they were not.
I have made HackerNewsBot [1] (it publishes stories with 100+ points), comedy bot [2] that reposts jokes and showerthoughts from reddit, writing prompts bot [3], and webcomics bot [4]. My favorite people to follow are: @Chrishallbeck@mastodon.social (webcomics artist) @lumen@mastodon.social (writes jokes) @Gargron@mastodon.social (creator of mastodon) @cwebber@octodon.social (author of ActivityPub) And a few cool eng…
I follow several of your bots! One feature request: webcomics bot should provide links to the original when posting, so that people can find webcomics they want to follow regularly.
The bot should be posting links to the comic pages and let mastodon's multimedia stuff extract preview images.
Anything other than that may be "convenient", but is ultimately entirely self-serving at the detriment of the people whose work the bot is using.
How do you feel about fixing that, rayalez?
Also, for anyone wondering why this matters, further reading from an incident last year: https://twitter.com/aurahack/status/902363519672360962 - https://twitter.com/i/moments/901869159931187200
How to find people to follow? Is there a hashtag on mastodon to ask about finding certain people based on certain interests?
Your instance may vary, but that works on mine, and is effective.
Either that or follow a few people and then see who they boost. Follow those boostees if they look interesting. Growth is slower and more organic, but it's a good way to keep growth under control and not end up with a firehose.

Maybe you can help me here. I'm on a Mastodon instance: https://mathstodon.xyz/@ColinTheMathmo I've clicked on your link, but from the page I get I can find no way to follow you. What should I be doing? Do I click the "Subscribe" link at the top left? Given that your page doesn't look at all like the Mastodon I'm used to, it's not at all clear. Advice welcome.
You can copy-paste the profile url in mastodon's searchbar, it'll open that profile in the UI of your mastodon instance, so you can follow it as you normally would.

You can click subscribe and put in your mastodon address ColinTheMathmo@mathstodon.xyz, or you can search rocky1138@kwat.chatin the mastodon search box and click follow from there.
Now following!
