there are instances related to visualization, HCI & digital humanities on the #fediverse, but what about folks into #Urbanism #UrbanDesign #Cycling #WalkableCities #UrbanPlanning #UrbanFutures you ask?

you can also start with the 2nd step to find the instance where most of your peeps are. but the choice of instance is not that big of a choice as it might sound. the #fediverse is all about connecting across instances. and if you want to move: account portability is built-in

Marian Dörk @nrchtct.bsky.social · Nov 18

the 1st step to #joinMastodon is to find an instance. most peeps in my bubble are here:

Marian Dörk @nrchtct.bsky.social · Nov 30

it's a bit ironic that birdsite recognizes .social URLs as links, while Mastodon does not seem to bother…

oh and by the way: our lab is now also here 🐘[email protected] 🧪
