Hi I am new to Mastodon, I don't really know what I am doing here yet.

@withinity

It's a nice part of the country. I've liked most parts of the country I've lived in-PNW, NoCal, SoCal, South.

It's a good place to live in mid-life.

We finally found a half-decent restaurant yesterday. That's the worst about this area, no places to eat out that beat what you can make at home.

@withinity welcome! I recommended following @auschwitzmuseum, for a bit of grounding each day.

@withinity You can also scroll the profile directory for your home server here: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/directory

If you want some analog games, try https://dice.camp/directory

There are a few nonprofits hereabouts, many of them tech-oriented, like @eff or digital culture, like @gutenberg_org

Hi @withinity! #Welcome to the community!

[jeroenbaten@mastodon.nl]

@withinity your list of accounts you follow will grow steadily and organically. Give it some time. All will be well.

[robotistry@fediscience.org]

@withinity @VCP Then you will want to know about the Caturday hashtag (for Saturdays) and the CaturdayEveryday hashtag (for the rest of the week) and the WhiskersWednesday hashtag (for Wendesdays)!

[drangnon@hachyderm.io]

@withinity post a funny cat pic and link in @catsalad to boost it and you'll be set. @VCP

@withinity @jrconlin

Came here to basically say the same thing. Follow for any reason, unfollow for same. You've already discovered following hash tags.

Just tend the garden. Read what you like. Follow folks who day interesting things. If you see an account sending stuff that doesn't spark joy, unfollow.

Your feed will grow over time to shape to your tastes, but without agenda.

Is very much unlike most of the socials out there.

Welcome!

@withinity I mean, I'm pretty cool...

[withinity@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@MCDuncanLab I know what you mean. That said, there was this italian place a little out of the way that was really good called Paesano's. It was a pricey but always high quality. Palm palace was good for cheapy bulk mediterranian.

The wood fired pizza place by the park was pretty good for pizza. I miss that park, good way to escape the barfy undergrads.

Now I'm over in Massachusetts. It's great, but really expensive to exist.
