Hello #fediverse

Just landed #here and still figuring things out!

What’s one #account you think I must #follow ?

#NewHere #mastodon #introduction

[darth_hideout@mas.to]

@bb2101

Well, @FediTips .

Also follow the #NewHere hashtag.

Otherwise depends on your interests. Use tags in your posts to make them visible to others with similar interests. Browse & follow those tags to find your clan.

Anyway, welcome.

@bb2101@mastodon.social hello and welcome to the #Fediverse
It’s a whole lot bigger than you might think, and goes beyond Mastodon
https://fediversum.info/

Here’s a little tip: follow people who share the same topics and interests as you
To do this, you can customise this #Fediwall
https://fediwall.social/
Fill it with the hashtags you think are important, and just start following for now. You can always sort through them late

Thank you for the recommendation Darth

Welcome Ben! There is lots of help for new people on the website at https://fedi.tips and please feel free to ask if you want help with anything specific

By the way, here's a guide to all the ways of discovering accounts to follow: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends/

[cy@fedicy.us.to]

Don't feel obliged to follow popular accounts here. The network will work just fine if you curate a smaller collection of moderately mutual friends. Check the "Local Timeline" of different instances who appeal to you, to find people to follow.

But uh... @owlsintowels@mas.to
