Hello! Time to do an #Introduction again

I'm Anubi, and I do lots of silly art (mostly in Pixel Art) that aims at cheering up your day!

I've been on mastodon.social under @anubiarts@mastodon.social for a year and a half, but the constant crashes and lag spikes made me move over here

I don't tend to do this often, but I ask you to boost this toot, so this new account gets federated to other instances, thank you!

A Pixel Art Redraw, featuring a cat lying upside down next to a bowl of milk and cereal, with their arms and legs extended. They're very tired, and I relate to them a lot.
A Pixel Art Scene, featuring a character in a building staring at the street below, with various other buildings all around. It's beginning to turn into night, perfect time to stare at the surroundings.
A Pixel Art Redraw, featuring a cat, staring through a giant bubble that's in front of them, making it look like a little helmet. You'll go far cat!
A Pixel Art featuring a frog, who's hanging onto a flower stem, extending their arm forward and offering you a flower. The text "Would you like a flower?" can be read next to the frog. Will you accept their gift?

We've also made the move to the Fediverse (as an experiment, for now)! We are the Faculty of #Philosophy at the University of #Groningen - widely regarded as one of the best places to study philosophy in Europe! We are looking forward to making new connections! #introduction

If you’ve just left Twitter/X welcome! You’ve come to the right place.

There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.

Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.

If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.

One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:

People have added additional tips in the comments below which you may want to check out.

Many of us (all?) are grieving the US election now so comedy is appreciated.

from alex (dremenec.com):

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.

However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

An infographic. There are six panels. 1. "Slow internet. Alt text is shown in place of unloaded images." a drawing shows a phone with poor signal, and alt text is visible where the image should have loaded. 2. "Findabillity. Alt text helps to search content." A drawing shows someone searching 'dog with banana' and a post is shown underneath without the words 'dog' or 'banana'. It is implied to be part of the alt text. 3. "Screen readers. Alt is read out to people using text-to-speech software". There is a drawing of the output a screen-reader would show when viewing an image with alt text on bluesky. 4. "Translation. Alt text can be translated". A drawing shows a post being translated. The alt text is also translated into german. 5. "Readability. Text in images can be made legible" There is a drawing of some truly awful handwriting inside a speech bubble. The alt text clarifies what the text is supposed to say. 6. "Disambiguation. Description helps clarify intent." There is a drawing of a post with a picture of a creature. This is styled after the famous optical illusion of a rabbit and a duck. The alt text clarifies that the animal is a rabbit. It definitely looks more like a duck.

Remember to look into the #introduction tag from time to time and boost the people there. This is a reminder for myself too because I sometimes forget, but it's important to help new users feel welcome and create their social group here.

In the past few days there's been a significant uptick in new users (unsurprisingly) on the order of 15x as much as usual. So let's make them feel welcome.

Sup, people! I'm Pevai and this is my #introduction.

I'm a fan of language-learning, conlangs, writing systems and linguistics in general.

I'm a teen from Minas Gerais, Brazil who also loves music, from jazz to metal, and gaming, from cozy fishing games to brutal shooters.

Nice to meet you!
