When you are giving out things. are you?

Over 100 new users so far cool.

Just letting you all now that this pony instance/server is only one of many instances/servers all across Mastodon, and even beyond other social media services (i.e misskey, GNU.Social, peer.tube and even Tumblr and flickr is working on joining the Fediverse).

Like email, you don't need to be under the same email service provider to get in touch within one another.

Mastodon is the same. You don't have to be in the same server or even be on Mastodon to connect with each other (as long as it runs ActivityPub, which makes this tech all possible.

useremail@emailprovider.com

mastoUser@thisInstance

You can also search for a username to send messages to within a post with type @.username (- the .)

Also, don't forget to change global/public to followers only or mentioned users only by tapping/clicking on the Global Icon within the posts tool bar (depending on which Mastodon app you're using).

Hope this helps

Reminder to get your vaccines up to date and your health-plans together this week if you're going to #HarmonyCon!

Cons come with germs, but you can protect yourself from the worst of these things by getting your body ready, with exercise, taking vitamins, and getting your vaccines up to date.

If you've been putting off your New Years Resolution to get more exercise, consider this a good time to make the attempt by going out for walks on warmer days and doing calisthenics/aerobics indoors: anything that gets your breath up and works your heart is good. You should also be making sure your immune system is getting enough vitamin C and Zinc, which it will use to fight infections during the con, and stay hydrated. (the drink I always recommend is BodyArmor, which is basically a bottled multivitamin for athletes)

Vaccines recommend being administered at least 2 weeks ahead of expected exposure, which means, with the con 3 weeks away, you should try to get yours done either this weekend or in the following week. Flu and Covid are common at cons, so try and set up an appointment for those, if you haven't gotten them in the past 6 months. Vaccines are cumulative, and update for mutation, so even if you got last year's, you should try to get this year's. Covid Vaccines are FREE, so if you qualify for a booster, I'd recommend it before your inevitable exposure in the crowded con.

Also, consider getting the house clean and stocked on easy foods (like soup and crackers) and drinks (like BodyArmor or Ginger ale) by the day of the convention, so that if you DO get sick, you'll be coming home to a clean environment. (Remember: Covid is notorious for its secondary infections caused by dirty bedsheets and dusty air)

Anyway, just wanted to throw that up here, and hope #everypony has a safe Harmony Con, if you're going.
