@LitteRatty stuck to my favourite favourite button. When people say you have to interact, don't feel pressured to do more than you want to do. Liking is interaction in my opinion. I spent a lot of time just lurking and observing the culture on here until I felt ready to jump into conversations, and I think that's okay too. (2/2)
@snoopy_jay oops, I thought my answers showed only to the respective correspondent, I apologize for flooding the thread with them. Still need to better understand interactions here.

@LitteRatty You didn't flood anything, I just usually read all answers under a post to ensure that I don't give an answer that's been given already. But your post went super viral for fedi standards, so I didn't manage to read them all and was apologizing for that.
I can see your answers if I want to, the visibility on here is complicated, yes, but you don't have to figure that out right away, I think. -
Hello everybody,
I'm a bit lost here, coming from "traditional" social platforms. I have no idea how this works and to top it all I'm also too shy to enter people's conversations.So let me introduce myself: I'm a Romanian artist, I paint in oil and acrylic. I am also a voracious reader, always on the lookout for new books. I enjoy most of all historical ones - fiction and non fiction, classic literature is my comfort food, yet I'll not refuse a good mystery or thriller.
@LitteRatty welcome

@lisamelton While you were taking a much-needed break from boosting, I stopped suggesting your account to new people looking for some help getting going. Now I can do that again (along with recommending @FediTips).

@LitteRatty So you're the person we should ask about all the recipes in *Dracula*?

@LitteRatty Welcome.
You might want to find hashtags associated with your listed interests as a start. I'm sure you've had lots of advice already, though so I'll just say welcome again, and I hope you settle in soon

@tuckerm thank you, I'm happy you like my work, this means a lot to me.
What am I reading now: I have just started the second volume of the Welsh Princes trilogy by Sharon Kay Penman - "Falls the Shadow". I was so immersed in the first book, at the point I had to take a break from the series and come back to reality. Reality was a bit too chaotic for me, so I found refuge in Hamnet, finished it two days ago and since last night I'm back in XIII century Wales.
@LitteRatty My mother sent those Welsh Princes books to me a a few years ago after she got really into a holiday to Wales. They're fun!

@TheDonsieLass ooooh, what a marvelous thing would be to visit Wales! I'd strive to visit every landmark described in the books and superimpose what I'd see before my eyes over what it had been all those centuries ago. But no doubt the changes would be so radical that... maybe it's better to just keep seeing those places in my imagination.

@LitteRatty Welcome to the fediverse.

@DaleHagglund thank you for the welcome and for your interest, I'll post some art as soon as I finish answering this introduction post. (Wow, I wasn't expecting so many warm and kind people to respond to this one, my first!)
@LitteRatty I just wanted add one more comment on your question: In the fairly near future (not sure just when, though) Mastodon is going to release "Collections", which are lists of recommended accounts to follow, usually on a particular topic. If you're at all familiar with BlueSky, this is modelled, at least loosely, on Starter Packs.
You'll probably be well on your way by the time Collections becomes available and your instance admin upgrades, but I think the hope is that Collections will improve the initial experience for new users of Mastodon.
