I forget his handle, but I miss the updates from the retiree living in Vietnam, (mostly Hanoi)… He had great pictures too.

@odd Michael Perry. I miss him too.

@odd He's still active on Mastodon. Here.

@maique Oh, great! I think I’ll join just because of that. Thank you for remembering his name, and linking to him on Mastodon, Maique!

@odd You're welcome. I remember him well because I was the one who told him about Micro.blog, I enjoy following over there, love looking at the photos he takes of a familiar place, and reading his thoughts. Still check up on him over there, and wish he had stayed a little longer over here 😊

@Pilchuck Great guy, hope I’m allowed to follow his photo journal over at Mastodon.

@odd Great. I go between Toot! ano the beta of another one. The webview works nicely too, if you don't spend a lot of time there.

I'm maique@mastodon.social over there, if you're interested. There's a bunch of people from M.b using it as well.

What instance did you pick?

@odd all the mastodon apps are absolutely terrible. But pinafore.social is awesome. The best social media web app ever made. If it wasn’t for it I’d probably left mastodon the first week

@maique Thanks! I’ve just added you there. I’m on Oslo.Town, and I’m @odd there as well.

@maique @odd I've been using Mast lately: apps.apple.com/us/app/ma... mostly because it's supported in Opener and I primarily follow Mastodon users via RSS.

@Pilchuck Feel free 😊 I'll do what I can to help.

@odd Done.

@maique @ldd I have been using Metatext lately, looks very iOSey and simple.

@hjertnes Thanks, I’ll check it out!

@mdrockwell Thank you for your recommendation! 👍

@Gaby It was free, so I’ll try it first. Thanks! 😊

@odd too bad Twitter is the only platform with great apps

@hjertnes every now and then I bug the Twitterrific people asking for a Mastodon client, last thing I heard (and this is been a while), it wasn't worth it. I guess Mastodon doesnt have the numbers Twitter has

@Gaby I have high hopes for the offices mastodon app lickability are working on

@maique I’m also @odd at photog.social, because that’s where I found Michael P. Not sure that I need two instances, but it’ll be for my ok photos, and to follow photographers.

@hjertnes the ones that made Pinpoint?

@odd I just followed him on mastodon from here!

@hjertnes I wish Lickability did a v.4 of Quotebook, so I don’t have to worry about it going away. @gaby I think Lickability acquired Pinpoint from…Marco(?)

@toddgrotenhuis Yes, I suppose I could have done that too, but I was a bit curious about Mastodon, and wanted to try it. If it isn’t my cup of coffee I’ll do the same.

@toddgrotenhuis How do you do that?! 🤔

@Gaby yes among other stuff. They also did quotebook

@crossingthethreshold If you go to Discover and search for a Mastodon user - @mpmilestogo - you should find their Mastodon profile and be able to Follow. Have only tried this on the web though, not sure if it works in the apps.

@crossingthethreshold Or you can use the user link I just included in my first reply to you - didn't know that worked :)

@TheDimPause I found out that I could also just search for Michael Perry there, and he showed up in the results. Now I’ve added him here as well. @toddgrotenhuis

@TheDimPause Thank you for that tip. I had no idea that that was possible!

@Gaby Yeah, had that one too since we spoke last time and you mentioned it 😊

@mdrockwell I think I tried it as well, but came from a developer that left a strange vibe from a Twitter app.

@odd Toot! and Metatext are great clients.

@mcg Thanks! I went with Metatext. It does what I want, and you can switch between instances.

@odd thought of you as I have seen Michael’s post in the discover timeline cc @mpmilestogo — perhaps you’re able to connect here too again.

@vincent Yes, I didn’t want to scare him off, (too much), so I haven’t really reached out to say hi, but @maique let me know he was on Mastodon, so I started following him there, then @manton said I could follow Mastodon users over here, so I did that, then @mpmilestogo started blogging a bit over here again, (Hi! 😊) - so I get the updates. Beautiful, exotic photos, and a interesting travel-log.
