If you’ve been on Gamepad.Club or another Mastodon Server for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed a quirk about search.

Joining a new community can be daunting. Getting started can be a big hurdle, but doing it right can make it much easier to get stuck in. Which is why we encourage you to post an intro!

This is the official blog of Gamepad.Club – a place where we’ll share all of the server news, updates, and future plans. It’ll also be a place for guides on getting the most from Mastodon. And it’s where you’ll be able to get a peek at how the technology works and what any donations are spent on.
