Thought i'd give the #fediverse another go. I'm an #occupationaltherapist living in #cornwall. I work in #mentalhealth and also do #autism assessments. I'm a keen amateur photographer mostly taking photos with my phone at the moment. I'd love to connect with people on here. My interests are #photography #music #reading #books #walking #countryside #nature #mentalhealth #autism #adhd #neurodivergence #scandinavia #dogs #animals #antifascist #environment

I'm hosting @Mastodon's first ever Discovery Week in just a few days. It's a chance for the public to weigh in on the future of online communities.

We'll be discussing topics like user-controlled algorithms, trust & safety, creator tools, and more. Your input will help steer Mastodon towards a more inclusive and impactful roadmap. Non-technical folks strongly encouraged to attend, and there's an async option if you can't make the live sessions!

Hey! I'm #newHere so it's an #introduction - I'm Sandy, a Berlin based artist and scientist. I'm passionate about #watercolor, print making, #microscopy and #cats - best when it's combined. I'm also active and try to join #urbanSketching events whenever possible 🎨🐈‍⬛🔬

Hi everyone! I'm new here, so here's an #introduction

I've been a ballet dancer since I was 3, and outside of the ballet studio I really love cooking good food, traveling, and spending time in nature.

I'm likely AuDHD, my favorite video game is stardew valley, and I have strongly held opinions about wine.

The Lashford dynasty: 137 years of locally-made links

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.

Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

🏇 🐎 🐴

Have you sat on a horse?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

For the last decade, the #EU has been funding #Mastodon #KDE #Phosh #Nextcloud #OnlyOffice #PixelFed, #Libreoffice, #CryptPad, #Kdenlive, #Lemmy and many other Open Source projects you know and love through its #NextGenerationInternet programme.

But now that programme is ending and they are thinking about its successor.

They want to hear from you on what it should look like: Share your feedback to make sure the Commission keep funding amazing Open Source projects!

Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.

My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.
