Föderation EN So 19.01.2025 22:54:39 hi! decided to set up a mastodon account I'm using linux with tor (+ some custom python scripts) as I try to stay private online expect some posts about programming, privacy, etc. not sure what to do just yet, but I hope this will go well EDIT: this post went surprisingly well! |

Föderation EN Mo 20.01.2025 06:45:53 @stringintinfinite welcome! All the Linux kids are here, lurking around every corner. In case no one has pummeled you with this piece of advice yet, following hashtags like infosec, Linux, whatever else you’re into will populate your feed with interesting stuff and people. Happy hunting! |

Föderation EN Mo 20.01.2025 22:16:42 @Jackiemauro I followed the tor hashtag pretty much right after creating this account but yeah I should probably follow a few more |
|
Föderation EN Mo 20.01.2025 22:45:55 @stringintinfinite yea I mean 100% up to you how you want your feed to look. But since nothing gets pushed to your feed it’s often the easiest way to find people. |
|
Föderation EN Mo 20.01.2025 22:48:54 @Jackiemauro what other ways are there to find people to follow? I tried the people section of the explore page but I couldn't find much there |
|
Föderation EN Mo 20.01.2025 22:52:02 @stringintinfinite there are some starter packs here : https://fedidevs.com/starter-packs/ @FediTips might have more advice, i definitely used hashtags as my main tool. |

Föderation EN Di 21.01.2025 07:04:05 Mastodon is generally a welcoming place. The trick is to remember that there are no artificial algorithms here. A like shows the post author you liked the post. A boost shows the post to your friends/followers. And that's it. The algorithm is humans. 🙂 |
