Andy and Michael get things started with a discussion about Mastodon and the Fediverse in this week’s episode. They discuss the onboarding experience, what the feed is like, and different types of Fediverse services. Andy is moving instances and references a post by Josh Justice with pro tips on how to migrate a Mastodon account. Terrence Eden is working on a number of tools like conversation explorers. Check out the show notes for a link to a post on Mastodon’s Conversations API.
Michael and Andy wrap up with a story on Mastodon being ported to an IBM PC and the re-entry of LightSail 2 into Earth’s atmosphere.
