@neltnerb @feoh@cybre.space Art, you say? Hang on.
Well I was going to point you at an art boosting account I follow, but now I can’t find it. I wondered why I wasn’t seeing anything from them.
Have you checked the mastodon.art profile directory? Lots of great folks in there.

@neltnerb @feoh@cybre.space I tend to explore by default, so I’ll see interesting stuff from someone, wonder if it’s common for the instance their on — it often is — and look at their instance for more accounts to follow here.

@neltnerb oh hey that toot about trying to follow someone. It went away. Did you figure it out?
hackers.town: 2020-07-13 Mon 10:22
@neltnerb Sure! For me the most confusing part of federated social networks is trying to follow someone on another instance.
Someone mentioned in a conversation? No problem! Someone whose profile you just found? That’ll be a follow then auth and “follow this time i really mean it” please.

@neltnerb Could be some differences in our respective cookie / JS settings, but here are my two follow paths.
When I select your @ or profile name in a toot displayed on my timeline, it opens a profile column with your details and a “Follow” button. That’s how I added you.
When I go directly to https://mastodon.mit.edu/@neltnerb, I see a “Follow” button because my identity doesn’t carry over to http://mastodon.mit.edu. I put in my handle randomgeek@hackers.town and “Proceed to Follow” for auth. Course, I’m already following, and it tells me so. But this would be where I confirm the follow.

@neltnerb Should be the same in Firefox or Chrome. I just have Chrome open because I’m on the clock and it’s the new IE.

It’s really hard not to keep puttering with the admin view in Django.

Loud Dog is a #perl dog now. You can see she’s very enthusiastic about it.

Still bright enough out that the comet is a possibly-hallucinated scratch of white just out the corner of my eye. Maybe give it a few more minutes.

No it’s not a great photo but every year the camera in my pocket computer is a little better. That’s pretty cool.

I’m impressed I saw anything at all, what with all the ambient light. Dark is the one thing I miss most after 20 years in Seattle.
