Time for already overdue #introduction.

I am Agnieszka, born in ‘70s in #Poland. Spend majority of my life there, then moved to #Yorkshire, and currently living in #Nederland#NoordBrabant.

IT professional for almost 30 years - first as a sysadmin/netadmin in the ancient nineties/early 2000s, then a software engineer focused on #Linux.

Domesticating some demons living rent-free in my head since my childhood. With varying success.

Occasionally mentioning kink on main (usually under CW).

Trying to do some home automatisation (#RaspberryPi#HomeAssistant), enjoying it and being annoyed by it at the same time.

I forgot the #introduction tag on my original introduction, so I’ll try again.

Hello! I am Emma (she/her). I am, in all probability, #autistic.

My current obsession is growing plants in space, and I have a podcast called Gardeners of the Galaxy where I interview space plant biologists and/or waffle on about the history of #SpacePlants.

I am interested in lots of other things e.g. Tea. Cake. Books. The WW2 Home Front. Cooking. Vegetable Gardening. Fossils. Tardigrades.

Well, I guess it's time for an #introduction! I'm a professional software developer from Reunion Island.

I've been a #marketgardener for six years and I'm the creator of https://qrop.frama.io, a #FLOSS #cropplanning software written in #qt. I'm porting it to #Phoenix because #Elixir is such a wonderful language! (And more seriously, because a #SaaS will be a better fit.)

#GNUlinux user since 2005, #Emacs lover ever since, learning #Rust in my spare time, #climbing as much as possible.

So after a couple of days of snooping around and butting into conversations, I guess it's #introduction time 😁

I'm originally from Singapore, but moved to Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) in 2004.

I have been in the hospitality industry for 18 years.
The last 12 of which have been spent in the kitchen as a chef. I post about #food a lot 😏

I also have a background in #Anthropology, #SocialTheory and #HumanNutrition.

Am currently in the middle of a #PhD in #Education - researching community #foodpedagogies as well as food education in #PublicHealth.

I am passionate about #SocialJustice, #FoodSecurity, #Decolonisation and dismantling systems that perpetuate division and inequity.

I am a #dancer, #SciFi geek, a novice gardener and have a regular #yoga practice.

Open to meet anyone and everyone. Excited to be here and looking forward to many amazing conversations and friendships! 💜

Hi, I'm Sharon and I care about de-shitting the world. My contribution to that effort: my anti-racism newsletter where I share my experiences of racism around the globe and platform Black founders and activists trying to redress inequality. I'm a former trade journalist, journalism lecturer and freelance writer. I have lived and worked in many places, and am currently in Barbados. I love reading (and no, it doesn't have to be highbrow), words, Star Trek and learning new things. #introduction

Hello Fediverse,
I am a researcher in #geoscience, focusing mostly on hydrogeology, hydrology, evaporation and rock weathering. I am affiliated with Charles University (Czech Republic).
I am here to stay in touch with – and share – news about #science and academic life. That's why I chose #Fediscience as my home server and will mostly contribute to the tags #academia and #academicchatter.
I am in my mid-thirties and live near Prague with my family. I enjoy reading #books and spending time in nature. Addicted to #coffee.

G’day there! I’m Ben, and this is my about… 19th social media #introduction post? I’m a #photography and #science nerd, and the victim of perennial curiosity.

I’m an #actuallyautistic #disabledartist, living in lutruwita/Tasmania, #australia, in my mid 30s. I specialise in #landscapephotography, #astrophotography, and #timelapse in the island’s wild places.

I like to play with light. These are some of my more successful experiments.

How are we all? Say hello!

During the autumn months, Tasmania sees a brief explosion of a short-lived bioluminescent fungus, the so-called Ghost fungus (Omphalotus nidiformis) in secluded damp forest patches affixed to rotting trees. Owing to their typical low position hidden underneath forest canopies, a view out to the night sky is very rarely afforded, much less on clear nights – making this view out to the crown jewel of the night sky, the galactic centre of the Milky Way, a truly once in a lifetime opportunity.

Tasmania’s Low Head is home to one of the most important lighthouse arrays. Sitting at the mouth of kanamaluka/River Tamar, it serves as herald of land for sailors arriving across the Bass Strait. Occasionally it plays host to the southern aurora and the setting Milky Way, captured with grasses and rocks fluorescing strongly in the foreground.

Under certain spectrums of light, living and organic matter can produce intensely vibrant colours, glowing as if by magic. This process is called biofluoresence. Here, the Milky Way’s galactic core rises behind a small oceanic lake on Queensland’s coast.

New #Introduction for all the new users! artpeek

Hello there! I'm a digital artist from Spain. I transform my daydreams into colourful, surreal illustrations.

I'm neurodivergent and I suffer from chronic migraines.
I love sci-fi and speculative fiction, I'm an avid videogame player and I'm now learning Japanese *:･ﾟ✧

#Introduction

Hi everyone 👋, I'm a PhD student researching and modelling Antarctica using complex/social-ecological systems ideas and methods, aiming to complete in April-2025 📚

I joined #Mastodon in 2022 during the 2nd wave migration (the mass layoff on 🐦 site) and deleted my account.

Currently feeling hopeful for the future of the #Fediverse ❤️ and for tools for people by people.

I'm not gonna lie, TikTok was never my thing. I also never particularly expected a huge influx to Mastodon following the ban, and it's restoring some amount of [EDIT: I mean, quite a bit of] optimism on my part now that that's apparently happening.

Hi, everyone who's here from TikTok.

Something you'll find different here (and love if you're anything like me), is that the "algorithm" is created directly by everyone who uses this thing. Boosting a post shows it to people who follow you. The more people boost the same post, the more people see it.

Also—and this isn't even aimed at any app specifically—Mastodon, unlike a lot of apps, is really good on mobile AND on desktop according to a lot of people, including me. Please log in to whichever instance you chose to make your account on in a web browser, and try it if you haven't already.

There are also accessibility features here that most other social media either lacks entirely or doesn't do nearly as well. Alt text, for example, is text added to media, that exists primarily for the purpose of describing said media to people who interact with Mastodon using an audio interface. Adding alt text to images is recommended, and posts containing images are likely to get more boosts with alt text than without.

It's also a good idea to write a brief (or not) introduction post and pin it on your profile.

I should probably also mention that I've been looking through #TikTokRefugee and following anyone and everyone who's here from TikTok. So if you're here from TikTok and I just followed you, that's why.

Welcome to Mastodon.
