@Gargron happy birthday, John Mastodon!

@Gargron I can't imagine how big your numbers must get... lol

The first pic is from my iPad which are the number of notifications that appeared overnight. The second pic from my iPhone are the notifications that have appeared since Thursday morning just before all the stuff went down.

Don't worry, I'm going to open the app on my iPhone soon so it resets the count and I stop obsessing about this. lol

Anyone who says you can't go viral on the fediverse has never had a Twitter client suspended and discontinued.

Twitterrific has been discontinued. ? Goodnight, sweet bluebird. https://blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01/twitterrific-end-of-an-era/

Humming sad songs to myself.

Good morning to everyone except Elon Musk.

@Gargron awesome!

Darmok and John Mastodon at Tanagra.

@Gargron GOOD MORNING!

@Gargron the price of success, I guess.

I kind of miss the days when someone could have an idea to try for Mastodon and @Gargron had the time to code it and roll it out the next day. lol

@chrisdejabet well look who it is!

@chrisdejabet I do kind of want to. Although tbh there’s like at least a dozen other people jumping on that right now, too.

@chrisdejabet agreed.

@chrisdejabet ugh no kidding. It’s really hard to keep up with people here because of that. It’s weird though because isn’t the normal Twitter client like that, too? And maybe even Facebook? I don’t understand how people stand it.

@danvpeterson @chrisdejabet @Gargron yeah I've seen that API as I browsed through there and poked around for no particular reason. I'm curious as to why it's not used. I haven't tried too many other clients, so I don't know if they don't use it either or if it's broken or what.

@Gargron it was immediately noticeably faster. Good work!

My "Getting Started on Mastodon" tip is to follow a ton of people.

Follow the people you followed on Twitter, sure, but especially follow new people you didn't know on Twitter. Follow people who follow you. Check out the local or federated timelines and pick random people to follow.

You can remove them later if you don't like their vibe or once you get a sense for how you want to use Mastodon, but in the meantime it's much more interesting to have a bunch of new posts whenever you come visit.

@Gargron I shouted out Mastodon in the post since I would never have known about it otherwise!
