So I've been told that a photo of my #cat can gain me more followers and actually push my post. Let's try. This is Lola. #kitty #sleepycat #cutecat #followme #cats

So I've been told to use an #Introduction hashtag. Hi, I'm Lex. A Russian immigrant who lived in the US longer than I lived over there. I #code, write #music, roast #coffee, and this week started a program in #cybersecurity. Sometimes I do get paranoid that the #BigBrother might be watching me tho, so I try to limit my footprint to major places like #Google or #Meta, so I slowly move to hosting an #Ubuntu #server ( #selfhosted ). Trying out #mastodon for the second day...

Is it just me, or people don't chat much on this app? #mastodon

How big is #Mastodon? Is this app something similar to Twitter? How are the algorithms?
