Hello #Mastodon! I am making the jump from X to here. Too many of my #science and #medicine buddies left X. If you switched from X, how do you like it here?
It's nice. A bit less spammy, a bit less cantankerous.
I started by following the #science hashtag and following the @science account, that exposed me to a lot of users talking about science, from which I could choose whom to follow.
For topics like that, I tend to organize my follows onto lists divided by their main focus (it's a rough sort), and set each list to "hide these posts from home". That way I can see posts on that topic when I'm in the mood (rather than all muddled together on my home feed, which is more for close friends and serendipity).
@lightnsfw thanks I’ll give that a more thorough look. I’ve been following it but it seems to conflict with the other info I have seen online. For example I am near my wagon, click m, then t, select the tile for a stair, hit e to go down a level, select that tile and then nothing. I built one randomly this way on a cliff but no idea how I did it and it goes no where. I was able to construct a few stairs with the construction menu and a similar workflow but those don’t seem usable either.
to mine a stairwell you need to press m, t then select the square and move up or down however many layers you want to go and then click again, that will designate those blocks to be cut into stairs (it will show the stairs but they will not actually be stairs there until a dwarf does the mining). This will designate a down stair at the top layer you select and an up stair at the bottom with up/down stairs in between. you need to have a dwarf assigned to mining to do this.
You can build them in the construction menu as well but that requires you to have already mined out the area you are building in so it takes longer.
If the above doesn’t work post a screen shot of what yours looks like.

Si vous aimez les belles #reliures, anciennes ou contemporaines, il vous reste quelques jours pour découvrir la présentation proposée par la Réserve des livres rares sur le site François-Mitterrand de la #BnF. C'est en galerie des donateurs jusqu'au 22 octobre et, vraiment, ça vaut le détour : il n'y a que des pièces d'exception qui ne sortent pas souvent !
Je n'ai pas ajouté de photos parce qu'entre les reflets et les ombres, c'est impossible de faire une image correcte. Mais on peut se rattraper en consultant la base #Reliures qui vient tout juste d'être enrichie :
A Ray Bradbury Night in Symphony Space in NYC on November 1st. And I'm so happy to be hosting a night of Bradbury stories. Three amazing readers and me. Come and listen.
I need a book rec.
I'm looking for found family, smart writing, diversity, and a happy ending. Any genre will do, just give me an escape hatch from my current worries.
@alepiad@FediFollows can be great for discovery, for general tech content @malwaretech, @arstechnica, @GossiTheDog, and @shanselman all pop up for me regularly with interesting posts. There are also "group" accounts like @philosophy that automatically share any posts from their members, discovering those allowed me to see a lot of interesting discussions without needing to follow a whole lot of people!
Menschen, der Verlag braucht Soli, mir zieht gerade eine Steuernachzahlung das letzte bisschen Boden weg. Bitte gönnt euch, wenn ihr noch ein paar Euro locker habt, was im Verlagsshop und macht auf allen Plattformen Werbung. Würden mehr Menschen etwas vom Frohmann Verlag mitbekommen, könnte er vermutlich ohne solche Hilferufe existieren – das ewige Indieproblem.
@Frohmann vielleicht magst du noch #bookstodon@bookstodon und #bookbubble nachsetzen, auch wenn da viele englischsprachige sind, erreicht es doch auch deutsche Bücherwürmer

Kleiner Tipp, wenn es sich um Gewerbesteuer handeln sollte, Stundungsantrag bei der Stadtverwaltung stellen. Die sind normalerweise zugänglicher als das Finanzamt. Wobei man beim Finanzamt den Antrag ebenfalls stellen kann. Die meinen nur immer, sie sitzen am längeren Hebel.
