Hey #Fediverse people who are #NewHere:

Often frustrated with #Mastodon's character limit?

You should know: your instance sets the character limits, not Mastodon itself. Your admins could increase it.

Or: #Microblogging (i. e. Twitter-like social media) might simply not be what you want!

Feel free to look for other #Fediverse software like #Friendica that are tailored towards long-form posts and expanded profiles.

You can still interact with the same people – that's the point of #Fedi. #PSA

#Introduction #NewHere

I'm Zach, and I'm new here, so I thought I’d introduce myself.

I'm into tech, art, nature, books, coding, photography, and I’ll mostly be posting about Mental Health.

By day, I’m a Child & Youth Care Practitioner, and in my spare time, I love volunteering.

I came from BlueSky, and I'm excited to connect with folks who share similar interests. Feel free to say hi, recommend cool people to follow, or just boost this so I can find my little corner of the Fediverse.

heyyyyy #fedi, I'm Ashley, and I'm way better at being chaotic than writing an intro, but here's my best try:

I do things™ with electricity, like oreos, and am very good at breaking things.

Also, I'm a part of @SafeguardingResearch@fedihum.org (i have a normal amount of hard drives)

#introduction #introductions #newhere

Hello #fedi, I'm Hazel!
I'm a Data Preservationist, Aspiring Academic, and my partner tells me I am the 'kick-ass lady'.

Beyond that, I'm part of @SafeguardingResearch@fedihum.org, and also mute, and use ASL to talk in person.

@aud let me in, so blame her :)

Nice to meet you all

#introduction #introductions #newhere

#introduction It was on my todo list for a long time and now I'm #newhere - writing in En and De, darum auch #neuhier

Interested in #Switzerland #swisspolitics #education #foss #digitalsustainability #gardening #SchweizerPolitik #Bildung #DigitaleNachhaltigkeit #gärtnern #AI #generativeAI #fediverse

I found some active accounts from organisations but it seems to be harder to find accounts representing persons.

Can you recommend me any accounts from Switzerland or accounts focussing on AI? :)

Hello friends!

I am Eden, I am #NewHere, and I like making things grow.

My particular interests include #TreePruning (think: fruit orchards, but also espaliers and bonsai when I'm feeling particularly spicy), figuring out how to grow a #Garden on a plot that is almost 100 % sand and gets little to no rain in the summer months, #BuildingSoil, and collecting interesting vegetable varieties (bonus points if they are black/purple or variegated).

I am a mix of about 50 % idealism and 50 % cynicism. The world is going to shit, but… that doesn't mean we can't try to have nice things while we watch the world burn.

Follow and connect if you want to exchange ideas, passions, seeds or just talk about STUFF. I speak German and English well enough to hold a conversation, other languages might need some more time to decipher.

Some random assortment of things that rotate through my hyperfocus lens in irregular intervals: #Permakultur #Permaculture #Streuobstwiese #Pomologie #Obstbaumschnitt #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilBuilding #Compost #Kompost #Selbstversorgung #SolarPunk #KlimaKatastrophe #ClimateEmergency #Klimawandel #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Nachhaltigkeit #SolidarischPreppen #BGE #AnimalRights (to be extended)

Hey everybody! A little #introduction of myself:

I'm Philipp von Neumann, a composer-performer of #computermusic . I'm very much interested in sound synthesis, algorithmic structures and experimental approaches to form.

I'm here to find a community of like-minded people that share similar values. Currently I'm switching from commercial platforms to the Fediverse to see how many people I can connect with and share my passion for contemporary electronic music.

Hello! I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself!
I am YukiSora!

I Draw, sew, crochet, take photos and play so many video games, though being ND I don't always have the spoons to do much at all.

I'm on Arch Linux, Hyprland, with help from my partner

I care about lots of things of course, but freedom of information and the right to privacy are two of the big ones.

I dream of a little house with some chickens to hang out with

This is my #reintroduction:
