GamingOnLinux has been on Mastodon for ages, Nov 21 2016 in fact!
But with the recent migration to Mastodon, I guess it couldn't hurt to let people know you're there already.

Fair enough, I don’t use Mastodon at all, I just hopped in to see what all the fuss was about and saw this funny post.
I've been following him since joining linux.pizza a while back. Interesting (I'm a new user) that Lemmy is part of the Fediverse.
The joke has probably gone over my head, but great to see.
Its basically the intro to the original Half-Life game. If you haven’t I’d highly suggest playing the original or getting Black Mesa which is a remake of the original by a third-party company but with Valve’s blessing to do so.
This is the intro to Half-Life 2, but the original and Black Mesa are great games as well.
It's a parody of Dr. Breen's "Welcome to City 17" speech from the start of Half-Life 2. If you've never played Half-Life 2, then it's a very, very, very strong recommend from me.
I really like Mastodon but it's so hard to find other people that you have on Twitter. Lemmy is closer but i'm still gonna miss out on some small communities from Reddit
Yep, Mastodon takes some effort to get going. You need to find people who are interesting for you yourself, in order to seed your feed with interesting stuff. And it goes much smoother if you also interact yourself, which is where many lurkers, used to Twitter and its algorithm feeding them content, hit a wall. It's just a completely different world in there.
