@peter and I had a tech working session today to progress the upgrade, we didn't get it upgraded, but made some great steps towards it πͺ
I wrote up some notes over at https://codeberg.org/bath.social/server/wiki/2023-02-22-Upgrade-notes πΆ (no, not that kind, more like ποΈ).
Once we're upgraded we'll get all the cool stuff like post editing, following hash tags, etc.. π
I'm off cycling soon, so from my side there will be a bit of a gap... π΄

π€ Now Elon Musk bought twitter, it's a perfect time for alternatives like bath.social to thrive!
π₯Ί Unlike twitter though, we can't just sit back and wait for it to happen, in sleepy consumer mode.
π― We need to dance together to bring it to life! π±
π§ This is DIY social media, or more accurately -> Do It Together.
Here's a short video explaining what Mastodon is (the software and ecosystem that bath.social is made with and part of):
π New to bath.social? (that's everybody as it only just got created π), three things you can do to get more engaged:
πΌοΈ add a profile picture (a photo of you, or just something you like)
βοΈ fill out your profile a bit so people know something about you
π write an introduction post saying hello, maybe why you're here, and what you're looking for (tag it #introduction and then people can search them)
Happy posting in your new non-commercialized social space! π
