#MastodonTips If you're a new user of #Mastodon, you should take a look at the "Hotkeys" in the "Getting started" footer.

Lots of handy shortcuts here, like (among a few dozen):

- r: reply to post
- p: open author's profile
- b: boost post
- backspace: navigate back
- s: focus search bar
- ?: display hotkeys legend

JOB!! Open position in my research group to work on really exciting projects studying #reproducibility and the impact of #openscience - please share, and anyone interested please just get in touch!

With everyone doing introductions again...

I'm Esther! I work as a Data Steward at the Delft University of Technology, where I support researchers with managing and sharing their research data/software, and anwser #OpenScience questions. Next to that I'm involved in several open science communities (@turingway, Open Life Science, IsoArcH), I like to cross the supporter/researcher boundary and eat pie.

#Mastodon is pulling ahead of the other social-media platforms I've been exploring. As a sign of seriousness, I just added my Mastodon handle to my #Twitter bio.

I also added it to my home page.

I will definitely keep one foot in Twitter. But I'm also looking forward to growing the #openaccess, #openscience, and #scholcomm community here in Mastodon.

👋 Hi all. I'm moving in here. I'm a librarian committed to open science and scholarship in all its dimensions, studying and stimulating innovations in scholarly communication. Currently spending quite some hours on DIAMAS, a European project on diamond/institutional publishing, see http://diamasproject.eu/.

I already see quite some familiar faces here and am looking forward to meet new people.

Are you using Mastodon through a computer?

Do you wish there was a multi-column TweetDeck-style interface?

There is! It's called the "advanced web interface" and you can activate it any time you want. It lets you add many specialised columns, subscribe to hashtags and all kinds of stuff suited to large wide displays.

Log into the website, go to Preferences > Enable Advanced Web Interface, tick the box and click "Save Changes".

(To restore the default single column interface, do the same thing but untick the box instead.)

This used to be the default interface on Mastodon, and very old articles about the platform will have screenshots of the multicolumn interface.
