Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 15:58:41 so fucking lonely with a lack of people to follow. where are u mastodon users? show urselves if ur part of or interested in any of these listed hashtags and i will be sure to follow u... #adhd |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:02:17 Hey yo. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:04:10 @myselfig sup' hope youre doing good |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:06:21 @schwarzesmarken Yeah, other than hating on the government and WWE's booking decisions I'm perfectly fine ποΈποΈ |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:05:53 @schwarzesmarken Also finding engagement in mastodon a bit lack sometimes but I've also never been on soc media so the slower pace isn't terrible. I hit the "end" of my feed frequently which makes me go do something else π
I like bluesky for having these "starter packs" to follow for on boarding |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:08:35 @noflcl huh... never thought of it like that tbh but makes sense... yea, i frequently running out of content to see on here so i find myself wanting more... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:13:45 @schwarzesmarken Ive considered using something like SkyBridge, creating a bluesky account to get more content, then just add a second account to my mastodon android client. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:16:25 @noflcl i've considered doing that as well, er... well, i'm still kind of considering doing it but i havent heard from many people on what its like after they've done it so... im kinda holding out atm |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:06:07 @schwarzesmarken many of those! Hallo mastodon user! Just realised you "at" is schwarzes marken, the "german version" of muv-luv my favourite visual novel PCMR, I remember this at least! And all the neurodivergent, adhd and autism stuff I feel at home atm. Nice to make yer acquaintances |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:11:03 @404_user_not_found i recently had someone mentioning how my username is legit an anime, tbh, that's a one hell of a coincidence. i wanna sit down and watch it sometime but i find that my lazy ass is too occupied playing this TCG called Cardfight Vanguard lmao |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:15:18 @schwarzesmarken it's a frickin coincidence?! Hell boi, those dices sure did roll a natural twenty π€£ |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:18:34 @404_user_not_found yea, i legit never knew it was an anime until recently, very cool coincidence imo. really wanna know what the anime's like. i believe it'sd supposedly related with the muv-luv VN? i've played the 2 VNs on the vita but i'm not entirely sure if the anime is related with the VN... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:50:05 @schwarzesmarken muv-luv started with "Muv-Luv Unlimited/Extra" and that is also a good start into the Muv-Luv universe. I think on the Vita it was the alternative version? Every Muv-Luv is a single string in the Muv-Luv string universes, hope I can state that correctly with my rustic English xD |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:51:30 |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:18:42 @schwarzesmarken Have you tried posting an introduction (on the introduction hashtag)? You might be able to connect with some people that way, too. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:25:50 @tokyo_0 no, i've thought about it, but i was just basically "who even likes introducing temselves?", also didn't think it would reach many people. I didn't think this post would reach many people either but, yea... i guess i was just wrong. it certainly reached a lot more than i initially thought it would... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:56:06 @schwarzesmarken It is a bit tough here to start with, but once you find some activity related to your interests and start following that and engaging with it, things will improve. You might know this already, but you can follow hashtags here, which is handy. It puts the posts in your home timeline. If you use the advanced view (from the settings) you can split them out into separate columns, too. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:24:17 Have you already found @FediTips and @FediFollows |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:27:09 @cocolowres just followed them rn, thank you for mentioning them, i didnt know about them until u brought it up |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:40:00 I am happy to help π You'll find a lot of info there, fe: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/113873965761151028 and I read that we also have starter packs over here: https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/ |
Föderation EN Di 18.02.2025 20:16:55 Hey Schwarz, there are lots of ways you can discover people to follow on here: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends There are also lots of ways to make your own account and posts more discoverable by others: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-get-more-followers-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:36:39 @schwarzesmarken ping! Science leftist here. Plus anime since the *ahem* 1980s |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:39:36 @schwarzesmarken |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 16:59:01 @schwarzesmarken WHOMST HAS SUMMONED ME |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 17:01:49 @Axolotl1 lmao, ig it was me who summoned u. my bad, i didnt think my post would reach this many people... the risk i took was calculated, but boy am i bad at math. if i knew it would come to this, i wouldve just made a normal introduction post... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 17:06:59 @schwarzesmarken Maybe follow those hashtags to fill your timeline and find interesting people. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 17:08:22 @schwarzesmarken all of the above... mostly |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 17:22:18 @schwarzesmarken part of the issue is you're on dot social. MANY many cool instances have dot social blocked due to their size and moderation issues. Hang around for a bit and see if you don't find a place that feels more "you" or an instance where you reply/boost a lot of people and then message a mod asking about joining (most good instances are not open signups). π |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 17:42:45 @ItsJenNotGoblin yea, i figured thatβs part of the problem as well but wasnt 100% sure, but itβs reassuring to get that confirmation that your initial suspicion was correct. the thing is that im kind of interested in pretty much everything, that list of hashtags do not even begin to cover all my other interests i have and thus i have great difficulty settling on one singular place. therefore i would need a very flexible instance that has access to pretty much everything tbh :/ |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 17:41:30 Mastodon can be pretty quiet until you've got a decent list of folks you're following, but honestly over the year or so I've been on here I've come to appreciate the lack of overloading stimulation like other platforms have. It's peaceful, lists are a great way to keep my interests separate so I can really only catch up on whatever I'm in the mood for, if the home feed is too much. You're welcome to come on over to my little corner of gaming, nerdy shit, ADHD, and π³οΈβπ pride if you like ^^ |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 18:04:46 @schwarzesmarken Hello! π |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 18:07:43 @LawmanLungis hey there! π |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 19:46:32 @schwarzesmarken What kind of manga are you reading? |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:03:28 100 Worlds Isekai: Cardfight!! Vanguard SkyRide: Roshidere: Ao Ashi: One Punch Man: these are just naming a few that happen to be my favourites atm |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:21:12 @schwarzesmarken Oh neat!! I guess current favs I'm reading right now are Fist of the North Star, Akane-banashi, Frieren, and One Piece, jusrt to name a few!! |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:28:39 oooooo i completely forgot about Frieren, that ones an absolute gem and i cannot believe that i completely forgot that it existed... π as for one piece, i kinda wanna get into it, like, if i read the description of it's plot-line, themes and stuff, i find myself liking it and absolutely vibe with it. the moment i see the actually the artstyle however, is the moment i am not able to tolerate it. like, why are the women so anorexic for example... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:31:28 @schwarzesmarken The art style is why I have a hard time suggesting it to people. The plot, the themes, the social commentary is fantastic. Then you see the gradual change in art style for characters like Nami and it's like, "Ugh." Frieren I have been very much enjoying. I've been borrowing volumes from my library as I read them. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:35:25 yeah, i read about the themes and other ppl describing the social commentary of One Piece, and it sounds completely awesome and based. i get excited and want to jump straight in. the moment i see the pages is the moment i go "is... is this what im supposed to read?" |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:33:35 @schwarzesmarken OOOH! Forgot to mention Blue Box. That series is too cute. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:36:27 @mdmrn havent heard of blue box before, imma need to read and see if i like that one... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:39:33 @schwarzesmarken Short Version: Blue Box is romance / sports manga that IMO works as both. The two leads who clearly have crushes on each other at the beginning are a badminton player (the boy) and a basketball player (the girl) and both start their days early with practice, etc. As I said, I feel it works both as a cute romance story and with its sports chapters. And apparently the anime is good, from what I've heard |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:44:24 @mdmrn sounds interesting, imma have to give it a read... dunno much about badminton or basketball tbh. the only sports manga i enjoy is Ao Ashi bc i actually happen to enjoy watching soccer (or football for EU folks). but ig it never hurts to give new things a try, i mean it never knew a thing about Haikyuu and i didnt know a thing about volleyball before starting to read that manga! so imma def give it a try... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:51:47 @schwarzesmarken Awesome! Hope you like it if you do. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:52:58 @schwarzesmarken Also, and this is just a suggestion - if you like talking manga / anime, it may be worth looking for a smaller Instance that is more anime / manga focused instead of being on Dot Social, which is just enormous and sometimes hard to find a community of folks who share your interest. Oh, and me now noting you mentioned Haikyuu, which is amazing. Love it! π |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 21:04:48 @mdmrn o yea, iβve wanting to change it for a long time now, i set it to the default one simply bc i just didnt want to spend too much time on creating an account and i just wanted to gtfo of twitter-hell asap. but now iβve now got things rolling, i have been looking into different instances but i cannot pick one bc i have a rather wide variety of interests, like, that list of hashtags doesnt cover all my interests, i left out s lot like soccer or history for example soβ¦ |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 21:07:13 @schwarzesmarken Oh, I hear you. I'm here talking about my kids, ACNH, music, manga, anime, etc you name it. But, this smaller instance has made my life overall easier in at a minimum finding some folks I share interests with. And, of course, following hashtags. Which is how I found you! Looking up the manga hashtag. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 19:58:39 @schwarzesmarken I have watched that anime with your username as the title and I liked it, but that was long ago, I don't remember much. And I never played any VNs related to it, so I don't know much about that either. But if you like mecha shows, then it's definitely a good series to watch. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:09:00 i'll be honest, i thought you were talking about the profile pic for some reason and thought you were saying you watched "Cardfight!! Vanguard" and got excited for a second... I'm neutral Mecha animes, im not into them but i do watch them if they become mega popular like Code Geass, or the Witch of the Mercury... i didn't know that my username was actually an anime until recently, but im hoping to eventually make time to watch it... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:15:15 @schwarzesmarken I don't watch mecha anime that much anymore, I was into it when I was just starting out in anime. These days, it's just more chill or slice of life type of shows. Speaking of video games, have you played the metro series. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:19:41 @pikachu_sensei huh, u dont say. well, our preferences on what we want to watch shifts and changes over time so makes sense. also, no i dont think i've ever heard of the Metro Series. outside of play Cardfight Vanguard, i pretty much only play JRPGs (especially action JRPGs). sorry... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:25:47 @schwarzesmarken Oh, that's fine, everyone has their own set of interests. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 19:58:55 @schwarzesmarken |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:12:01 sounds like my kind of jam, pls, take my follow... mostly focus on NA politics (especially US politics) bc im Canadian but it would be nice to hear about politics from other countries... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:17:29 @schwarzesmarken Iβm Canadian too actually! Cool. Please donβt take it ill if I donβt immediately follow; my daily info feed is already excessive so Iβm cautious. Good luck finding the best of Mastodon. Following hashtags works well for me. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:23:37 @Oxymetheus also, i dont expect ppl to follow me, i just want to have active ppl with like-minded interests to follow because the hashtags im following and mostly looking at are rather inactive... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:52:27 @schwarzesmarken I fit a few of those. I'll leave you to guess which. ;) The #Fediverse doesn't throw stuff in your face like some other social networks do. "Hey, you might like to look at this! Or we might like you to look at this!" This is one of the great things about it, but it does make it a bit slow to get started. |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:55:08 @schwarzesmarken you can follow some of those hashtags to find folks |
Föderation EN Di 18.02.2025 01:01:38 i've already been doing that... it's easy to find folks in the active hashtags but please tell me who i'm supposed to follow in the cardfightvanguard or the wutheringwaves ones for example? they're pretty much inactive and only one user is posting on there so... |
Föderation EN Mo 17.02.2025 20:55:14 @schwarzesmarken I havenβt seen people talk about this much but around when I joined and people were looking for others with similar interests, this directory system popped up. https://fediverse.info/explore/people I feel like I found people I was interested in through this system. Discovery is a big difficulty of the current fediverse, unfortunately. I think there was a system for a while to find people who had their mastodon in their Twitter bio and I found that useful as well. |
