Hi all, does anyone know if there is a workaround to import my old Known status posts into Micro.blog? I have an RSS export of my Known posts, but not XML or WXR.
I'm beginning to think that #WordPress is somewhat overkill for my #indieweb use case - very tempted to revert to just using #Known and then POSSE that to #Microblog and #Mastodon
As a keen mapper myself I'm pleased to see a Mastodon instance for #OSM #OpenStreetMap - Mapstodon! https://en.osm.town/about

Going back to the #IndieWeb. One step at a time. :)
Folks, could you please post on Twitter and boost here.

Thanks!
An article about cycling campaigning, but also an excellent general article about inclusivity and understanding privilege. As a 'Default Man' myself it's certainly made me think: On inclusivity in cycling, privilege and knowing when to shut up and listen

@rysiek @Antanicus I use my own TinyTiny RSS instance, and have a bookmarklet that does that. But yeah, native support would be cool.
@primes That's a pretty cool prime number! #44111

@roseveleth Great tip, I had no idea you could pin hashtags!

#WhyIStayOnMastodon I hope that in the coming years the advantages of small communities will be recognized. The Fediverse is for me like a small collection of many exciting pubs where like-minded people come together. Such places have the potential to create subcultures, create their own language, own jokes etc.
To refer to my previous mail: Communities like the Restrealität (oldschool community for Berlin techno lovers) are exactly those subcultures I would like to see here.
@dajbelshaw Ain't that the truth (says me, a white guy over 40!)
Contains mildly rude words, and a reference to Susan Boyle Show more
Someone tooted this link on Mastodon earlier. Really interesting read about a crime I knew nothing about How an Ex-Cop Rigged McDonald’s Monopoly Game and Stole Millions #truecrime

Trying Mastodon Auto Share to see if I can POSSE from WP to Mastodon. If this appears, it's working!

@jgmac1106 Me too, been playing with #indieweb since late 2014. Love it, but can drive you up the wall sometimes getting things to work :)
This is my first post with mastodon auto share
@jgmac1106 Thanks, I'll give it a whirl.
@jgmac1106 POSSE from WP? If so, jealous as I've not got that working ever!

A couple of people from various instances have mentioned that #Mastodon is confusing at first. So I decided to write a comprehensive guide on how to get started with Mastodon.
Hopefully this helps new users to Mastodon. Please do Boost if you feel it could be useful to others.
