Hello everyone, happy new year! 🥳

Apologies for the spotty updates in the past couple of weeks. As I posted on my personal account recently, I've had to deal with some real life personal stuff over the Xmas period but normal service should be resumed from 2nd January 2026!

(If I've missed your question or message, I'm sorry. It is 100% fine to ask again or message again if you want to.)

Every server on here can have its own custom emoji, e.g. or

Custom emoji are special emoji added to your server by your server's admin. People on other servers can see them but not use them.

- On an app, click the 🙂 icon within the app to access custom emoji and the 🙂 on your keyboard to access normal emoji.

- On the web interface, use the 🙂 icon to access both normal and custom emoji.

Do you want help with using Mastodon or the wider Fediverse?

Please feel free to ask if you have any questions about using this place! There's no such thing as a silly question, it's fine to ask about anything however simple.

I'm especially keen to help new or non-technical people on here 🙂 And yes I am a human being, I don't use AIs!

(Alternatively, you can browse my website at https://fedi.tips which has lots of easy-to-understand help and advice.)

In case you missed it, the Guppe discussion group system has permanently closed down.

However, there is a replacement discussion system run by Fedigroups.social. I've tried to list the active public FediGroups at:

➡️ https://fedi.directory/tag/fediverse-groups

- To follow a listed group, copy-paste its Fediverse address into the search box in Mastodon, then click "Follow".

- To post to a group, mention its account in your post.

Reminder that if you're wanting to have a friendly chat with people about everyday things, perhaps Christmas-related or perhaps not, there's a tag for this at:

➡️ #JoinIn

You can talk about what you're doing or enjoying today. Music, food, television, books, the weather... anything 🙂

It's meant to connect people who want to have friendly discussions. Everyone is welcome to use it, but it's especially meant to help people who are a bit isolated for whatever reason.
