#raphus — Public Fediverse posts

Hi everyone,

Just decided to give this whole mastodon a chance. I come from the land which everyone seems to forget, Belgium. My hobbies include playing mahjong -despite not being very good at it-, coding more specifically anything to do with p2p software and networking and recently dipping my toes in freebsd. Excited to meet you all! Hope to find some more nerdy people, learn a ton and maybe play some matches!

The #dodo #Raphus #cucullatus (#Columbidae), lived on #Mauritius and was discovered during a Dutch expedition in 1598. This #flightless, ground-nesting #bird #diedout by 1690 due to introduced #predators, as it lacked #defensivebehavior. A research project aims to #recreate it based on its and the #genome of its closest living relative. D. Angst et al. (2017) found #ecological aspects from #bonehistology studies.

Good evening #Raphus
We now have a Welcome guide with some handy tips for getting the hang of Raphus Social, and Mastodon in general: https://Raphus.social/welcome.html
Whether you’re new here, or have been here for a while, you may find it has some helpful tips.

Are you new to #Raphus :raphus: and/or #Mastodon :mastodon: in general? Here's a great video from @tilvids about Mastodon: https://tilvids.com/w/wx2iLhD3pTipbKFJKLyx5t

Good Morning #raphus :raphus: !
I would like to announce a new offering from Raphus Social: our own BookWyrm server. BookWyrm is a decentralized social reading and book reviewing platform.
This server will only be available to Raphus Social members, if you’re interested, you can request an account over at https://books.raphus.social
Happy Reading!

@jacob there’s also bookmarks on mastodon, so you can bookmark posts for your personal reference. And here on #raphus we have elasticsearch enabled so you can do full text searching of all posts you’ve favorited, boosted, or bookmarked 😉

To our new users, allow me to wish you a warm #Welcome to #Raphus :raphus:
If you’re new to #mastodon, things work a little differently here than you may be used to. There is no algorithm, only people. We discover and share content with hashtags, and “boosting” posts
You can follow this account for server notices and announcements.
@rrgeorge is the administrator of this instance, our moderator is @travelingflwr
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions
Tips: https://fedi.tips

@aurynn #raphus is a better bird site to talk about 😉

I never wrote an #Introduction, because I’m not the best at writing about myself. But since I’m a #MastoAdmin, it’s probably good for me to do. I am the admin of Raphus Social (maybe we should “claim” #raphus).
I’m a big #geek. My interested are all manner of geeky things: #startrek :startrek:, #dnd5e :DnD:, #technology, #coding, #iot. I like to make #cocktails :cocktails:, bake #bread 🥖, and post pictures of them.
I studied #egyptology at university so I also randomly talk about #AncientEgypt
