The official Mastodon instance for Tracyverse Comics. Gwelp!

This is the official Mastodon instance for @tracyscops and Tracyverse Comics. Registrations on this site are exclusive to a select few of our publishing staff and artists, and you won't be able to make an account here.

How to follow us

If you want to Tracy Scops or any of the other users on our instance, you'll first need an account on an ActivityPub-powered platform. We suggest Mastodon Social.

Then search for and follow Tracy's main account (@tracyscops@tracyverse.social).

Other users on Tracyverse Social should also be searchable from most other instances. Just search for their full Fedi handle, which will always be in the format of @username@server.site.

Fedi? ActivityPub? Mastodon? Heck do these words mean???

Fedi is short for the Fediverse, which is what some people unofficially call the entire community of ActivityPub-powered platforms that can talk to each other.

ActivityPub is, as Mastodon defines it...

ActivityPub is like the language Mastodon speaks with other social networks.

It lets you connect and interact with people not just on Mastodon, but across different social apps too.

In slightly more complex terms, ActivityPub is kinda like email in that they're both communication protocols. Only instead of inboxes sending and receiving messages, ActivityPub is a protocol that allows websites to send and receive social media posts from one another.

Any platform can use the ActivityPub protocol, in the same way that Gmail and iCloud both use the email protocol. We don't send "gmails" or "iclouds"-‍- we all just send "emails".

A key difference here is that there's no unified branding for ActivityPub, at least none that everyone agrees on. What Twitter called "tweets" and "retweets", the Mastodon software officially calls "posts" and "boosts", though you'll see a lot of people say "toots" and "retoots" instead. You know, like the sound elephants make!

This changes from platform to platform. Threads uses "posts/comments" and "reposts" while Misskey uses "notes" and "renotes". It's kinda wonky, but you get used to it the same way people got used to juggling "stories", "snaps", and "tiktoks".

And then Mastodon is a couple of things. Mastodon is the company that makes Mastodon, the social network software, which anyone can use to run their own version of Mastodon, the platform. They even run their own at Mastodon Social.

Mastodon is powered by ActivityPub, which means anyone with a Mastodon account can connect to accounts on other ActivityPub platforms, such as PeerTube, WordPress, and soon, maybe even Tumblr!
