@mdserrat Howdy and welcome to our slice of the Fediverse.

@mdserrat@social.linux.pizza Mastodon isn't really a social network btw, it's just one of many ways to access the Fediverse (the actual social network)

@mdserrat Just to be clear, Mastodon isn't a network in and of itself. Rather, it's an entrypoint to the network known as the Fediverse and there are tons of other platforms like Mastodon which form the Fediverse

@mdserrat welcome to the other side!

Check out the trunk list, a list of instances and users from all walks of life.

I recommend checking out individuals' follows and followers, too.

@mdserrat Welcome

@mdserrat

Doing the same - and so far have been very warmly greeted - all the while not really having had the opportunity to respond in kind, so will be digging into this more over the weekend.

🙏

@mdserrat welcome to the #fediverse !

Welcome, @mdserrat !

Most of your work appears to be in Spanish, a language I don't speak (alas). But it sounds like your life is more in the academic side of computer science? I _do_ see an IEEE paper on mobile network routing.

Welcome from pleroma, one of many components of the fediverse.

@mdserrat hey, welcome. Glad to have you
