I have been doing this since 2015 and, I agree! It is amazing how useful it is. I've tried various note taking apps, project management systems, etc and I keep coming back to this system of keeping notes and staying organized. The best part for me is I always have access to my notes even if I don't have my main device with me.

Mastodon confused me for the longest time as well. Which community do I join? If I create an account on "federatedplumbers.example" why would I interact with a community and follow people at "federatedshoelacecollectionists.example"? Shouldn't I create an account at both communities and interact with each separately? This is what we do now by having a twitter account and a facebook acount, and a etc... A twitter account doesn't ever talk to a facebook account.

Then I saw someone do something I hadn't seen before...

They made their own mastodon insance: toot.firstlastname.example and their identity was @[email protected]

Joey could make his own toot feed of social media posts that anyone at any community could subscribe to.

Joey could then subscribe to the entire community at federatedplumbers.example, or he could follow just one user: @[email protected]. Then @[email protected] could follow @[email protected] and so on.

It doesn't matter where you start an account. You can join a community that you really like or start from scratch with your own instance and go and make friends in other communities. The real advantage with starting your own is that you have control over your content and aren't in danger of having your account shut down if a community decides it can no longer maintain the server.
