BL has moved from Linux.Rocks

Hi All,

For those of us who use Mastodon and follow BL, we were previously at the @linuxrocks.online instance of Mastodon.

Over the last few months that instance has become almost unusable so I have migrated us over to Mastodon.  Nothing really changes for those who already follow us there but if you're new to Mastodon or just hadn't got around to clicking follow:

@bunsenlabslinux@mastodon.social

Cheers

Re: BL has moved from Linux.Rocks

I have an account at linuxrocks but not on Mastodon itself, so it seems I always have to first log in at linuxrocks then search for bunsenlabs... Do you know how I can set up or migrate an account to Mastodon?

OK Got it.
For the benefit of anyone else who is baffled by Mastodon's mechanics:
on the LinuxRocks home, search for "bunsenlabs". @bunsenlabslinux@mastodon.social comes at the top. Click that.
Now click "go to original page"??? That worked 1/2 hr ago, but now I've got an account at mastodon.social it no longer appears.
I guess just going straight to mastodon.social and creating an account before visiting @bunsenlabslinux@mastodon.social might be enough.

Is this something like Arch Linux where the difficulty of getting in is a techys-only filter?

It feels that way. Glad you are sorted.
