Thanks everyone for the advice. For other newbies on iOS, Metatext seems *a lot* easier to use than the Mastodon app.
Is anyone in my network doing social/cultural research on podcast fandoms?
There are so many more people here now, so my next question is: are the critical tech folks gathering in a particular instance? I'm thinking of setting up an alt profile on social.coop, but not sure about fully migrating there as it's closed (I think?)

@cfiesler@hci.social @alex@dair-community.social there's something really interesting about just how popular popular podcasts are, and how that doesn't seem to be made entirely visible through other social networks... am looking for a thread to pull there for a project on the future of the creative/creator economy ...

@SeanFlah@mastodon.ie feels like podcast fandoms are only really visible to the podcast/platforms? Podcasts feel like they occupy a really interesting liminal space and I've lately become fascinated with how they gather so little attention

@Janetgunter@mastodon.social oh thanks! I am 90% through the social.coop process but haven't quite managed to complete yet as wasn't sure. Will check these out

@olorton@mastodon.org.uk yes! Fat thumbs. (I sent a clarification toot, but obvs the Tw- word was on my mind.)
