Obviously due to the distributed nature of the Fediverse it's never going to be possible to tell how many UK users have joined Mastodon/Firefish/Fedi in the last week or so.
But I'd be curious to know if anecdotally anyone thinks there have been an uptick in new UK accounts here.
First post! #introduction
Hi everyone, I’m trying to make the leap from corporate-owned social platforms over to the #fediverse and #mastodon . I’m excited to be here, and would appreciate any tips to help me wrap my head around this. Thank you! #newhere
I understand the next hours and days will be the peak of the current wave to the Fediverse (unless it causes a tipping point already).
So I want to offer my help to everybody who is new here.
I can help you with:
* finding the right instance (if you're not sure you found it)
* understanding how it all works
* editing your profile and settings
* finding your bubble
* helping others find you
* finding answers to further questions
I can help you by:
* replying publicly
* replying via DM
* videocall & screensharing (one on one or in groups)
* finding others who can answer the questions that I can't
This offer goes to:
* everybody (except trolls)
* not just people on one of our (Fediverse Foundation) instances
* not just people in the climatejustice movement
* not just people using Mastodon (though I don't have experience with all software flavors)
* not even only new people
I speak English and German.

I'm not, in any way, shape or form a photographer but here are some shots 😆
Hey, I'm new here, and very happy about it!
I'm here following a Neuropsychology assessment in which we found out I was "high potential" (IQ ≥ 130), without "associated disorders"
I discover this at 40yo, and am under the impression that it explains several parts of my life, giving them a new perspective.
I have lots of questions and I wonder if I could find some peers around here?
I am not yet completely comfortable with the idea of talking about it publicly and suddenly very happy to hide behind a pseudonym!
Any feedback and or resources on the subject are welcome! <3 #introduction #newhere
Bonjour, je suis nouvellement arrivé par ici, et très content de pouvoir partager avec vous.
Je débarque ici suite à un bilan neuro-psy qui m'a indiqué que j'étais « HPI » (QI ≥ à 130), sans « troubles associés »
Je découvre ça à 40 ans, et j'ai l'impression que ça explique plusieurs passages de ma vie sous un nouvel angle.
J'ai plein de questions et je me demande si potentiellement je pourrais trouver quelques pairs par ici ? Je suis pas encore tout à fait à l'aise avec l'idée d'en parler publiquement et du coup très content de passer par du pseudonymat!
Tout retour d'expérience et ou ressources sur le sujet sont les bienvenus !
Hello:
This is my account for posting about conlangs and following conlangers.
Luidhrandir is a Sindarin word meaning "Blue wanderer". In other instances I am Bluvaganto, which carries the same meaning in #Esperanto.
I'm also interested in #TokiPona #Lojban #ELEFEN #Kotava #Sindarin #Quenya and many others.

#introduction It was on my todo list for a long time and now I'm #newhere - writing in En and De, darum auch #neuhier
Interested in #Switzerland #swisspolitics #education #foss #digitalsustainability #gardening #SchweizerPolitik #Bildung #DigitaleNachhaltigkeit #gärtnern #AI #generativeAI #fediverse
I found some active accounts from organisations but it seems to be harder to find accounts representing persons.
Can you recommend me any accounts from Switzerland or accounts focussing on AI? :)
