@aerolith @Sknashville oh, I meant here on #theATL instance. I've seen you and @Sknashville share neat projects. I haven't done hardware stuff in eons, but it's def a great past time when I played

(also neat to see beeper is led by former Pebble co-founder)

Hello Atlanta and Metro area, I just scheduled another meetup for our little local ATL server. I spent way longer than I wanted making this graphic but I think it was worth it! I'm tripling up on 3 different personal interests of mine with this one. Hope that you can join.
Sunday May 21st, 11:30am at Bold Monk Brewery

How many people see messages in #theAtl per day? Hoping to be somewhat more active and I would love to meet people who can actually explain some things I did not find in the FAQ... like do I really need to make two accounts if I want to join two servers?

@MelindaATL
I just say that is a new kind of social media like twitter but better because it is not corporate with no ads or algorithms.
That anyone can set up a server based on interests and communities and all the different servers can connect so it is not just limited to the single group.

We set one up for the local Atlanta area community, so wanted to hang these flyers up here since coffee shops are all about their local communities.

@dixon sorry you had to join for that reason, but welcome to #theATL!!!

@joe welcome to #TheATL community in the #fediverse! Glad to have you!

Upside to insomnia is being outside for the dawn chorus. Birds heard this morning: bluebirds, the little resident male phoebe, cardinals, Carolina Wrens (my House Wrens haven't arrived yet), titmice, towhees, a chickadee, and a Pine Warbler. And the thrasher just cranked up outside the breakfast-room window!

Good morning to everyone else in the Atl who's been up since 4 a.m.!

Just read the proposal for governance for #theAtl and it just makes me so much more happy to be here than I already was.

@admin

Morning! Thank you 🤗 to all those who have completed the survey, and to those who attended the Patreon supporter Q&A yesterday evening.

Out of all the feedback and discussions, the establishment of a sustainable governance structure has emerged as a top priority.

This structure would be a precursor to any legal structure created for the operation of #theATL.social.

If you are interested in participating in governance next steps, please reach via DM or ✉️ michael@theatl.social

Another poll from theATL.social's coding lab 🧪, let me know how helpful or useful you would find...

The ability to conduct a full-text search of ALL posts/statuses (not just your own) cached by the instance via the existing search box functionality.

From theATL.social's coding lab 🧪, let me know how helpful or useful you would find...

The ability to opt-in to an algorithmically augmented Home feed: from your favorited posts and followed hash tags, other recommended posts/statuses (already located on the instance) would be inserted into your Home feed.
