Diving into Mastodon a bit like the chaffinch diving off this branch.

@johnmwildlife Welcome to the fediverse. The hashtags are free. Some are spelled oddly. Examples are #LichenSubscribe, #Mosstodon, #Bloomscrolling
@Pollinators Thank you! Yes - I noticed some of the spellings. Looking forward to finding more. I'm also an avid gardener albeit in a very different zone - 9a I believe it is!

@Pollinators
Also - don't worry about mixing languages! Translation works great for the most part, as long as the language tags on the posts line up
@johnmwildlife@SmolHaj Thank you!

@johnmwildlife welcome
That's a lovely photograph!I haven't fully figured Mastodon out yet but hashtags and alt tags are definitely a good way to get started.
@webidebi Thank you! We will get there I'm sure!

@johnmwildlife I think its great what you are doing. Does Flickr charge anyone using your photos? The current picture shows a bird taking off. I think photos do also provide a message..
@MokhtarStork Thank you! To be honest, I've no idea about Flickr. My understanding is anyone can view or download them for free under the Creative Commons license - but don't quote me on that!
