About Us

We're a (chosen) family of queer people: artists, nerds, philosophers, and lovers.

I'm new to this Mastodon thing. Help me!

Go check out fedi.tips and follow @feditips@mstdn.social - it's a great resource for finding your bearings.

If you're still confused, ask @amras! They'll be happy to show you around!

Timelines & Visibility

Here's how Mastodon timelines work: TimelineWhat you see HomeAny post from any user or hashtag you follow LocalPublic posts from people on this server FederatedPublic posts from outside this server - if someone on this server follows or boosts them.

Here's a flowchart that goes into more detail.

Local-only Posting

If you click the chain-link icon below your post, you'll be able to set it to "local-only". This means that your post will only be visible to other users on this server; it won't show up for anyone else.

If your mastodon client that doesn't have that option, you can add the :local_only: emoji to your post instead.

This is possible because we run the Hometown flavor of Mastodon.

Filters & Comfort

If you want to hide a post from your timeline, you can always select "Filter this post". If you'd like to hide all posts containing a specific phrase, you can go into Preferences>Filters to set up custom rules.

Searchability

Mastodon posts won't show up in search results, unless you use #hashtags.

Lists

A good strategy for using mastodon is to follow as many people as you can. Then, find special groups (like close friends, or writers, or photographers) and put them in custom Lists.

Donations

We don't have anything set up, but get in touch if you want to help cover hosting costs.

Emoji

This server uses selected emoji from these sources:

I'm that shop that disappears when you turn around, but the next time you find me I've got a whole new collection of things to show you.

Cute and stuff. :poly_wrapped_heart_flag: :genderfluid_pride_heart:
