Searching users is not that hard, but there are options which can be confusing.

1- You can put the full address on the search bar (.social seems to be with heavy load so it takes a while sometimes).

2- Or just search the user handle and the system will try to get all the occurrences in the federated universe.

3- And you can also search by user's display name.

#MastoTips

welcome new schelling denizens! hope you enjoy your stay. feel free to make an introduction post (use the hashtag) and to declare yourselves on as well!

inshallah as a final step into the fediverse im downloading serial experiments rn

meta, brands on the fediverse 

Im fine with brands on the fediverse pursuant to the following rules:

1. The accounts MUST be in the persona of the corporations mascot. If they do not HAVE a mascot a mascot will be assigned to them (Flighty the Northrup Grummond Dragon)

2. The mascots MUST be a) horny, b) perverse, c) depressed

Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

File format dissection 

I uploaded a small revision of my JPEG image format dissection, along with a PDF version - and a minor bugfix.

My (51M) microservices (>1000RPCs) have unionized

Babe are you ok? You’ve barely batched your >1000 RPCs

I don't want to over-populate my timeline with birdsite news, but I think it's *fascinating* how a famous and competent Android engineer got fired yesterday for being called out in public by Elon Musk in public and then giving really coherent answers.

The response boils down to, "Perf is a feature with clear value, but we neglect it for new site features no one uses."

This is *obviously* not what Musk wants to hear, even if it's a ridiculously obvious and common story.

So... I know, I know the common wisdom says "the algorithm" is bad. But, quite frequently "the algorithm" is pretty good in recommending stuff I want to see that I would otherwise miss.

Is anyone working on a good algorithm for Mastodon?

⚠️ ADMIN POST ⚠️

Have you been defederated for federating with shitposter.club? You may be entitled to compensation :10grans:

note for all schelling denizens: while I pinky swear not to pry, please realize that mastodon is NOT a private platform and I technically have access to all data you put into it

Another reminder, since we got a lot of new people!

Please assume all messages you send on any mastodon instance are not private. While we have no interest in reading your private messages, they are not encrypted in sending or receiving instances, and we cannot guarantee your privacy, especially when they cross instance boundaries.

If you have something private and sensitive to say, take it to another, more privacy-oriented system.

Thank you and happy tooting!
