    #introduction

    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.

    Bine ai venit!
    Welcome
    Bienvenu

    Your local instance @bookstodon.com
    seems good for books

    P.S. Am văzut că unele dintre tablourile tale au ca decor regiunea Sibiului.
    Am vizitat-o, inclusiv Păltinișul, cu mulți ani în urmă.
    Am o amintire foarte frumoasă despre ea.

      Welcome! You'll figure it out in time, worry not. I suggest following @FediTips

      Also worth noting is that many here appreciate accessible ALT texts on images:

        In addition to the advice given, I'd say follow people who interact with you, and then interact with them.
        See who else they interact with and see if you want to follow them too.

        When you are following a larger number of people, you can start to drop the ones that have no real interest to you, if you want.

        The main thing is to interact. People will follow you back if the interactions are good and of interest to them. It is much more like socialising at a party.

            Bookworms are especially welcome. And don't worry, most of us don't bite. My advice is to find conversations you're interested in and boost/favourite the posts you like as a way of getting yourself known. Then, in your own time, start to comment on the posts. Before long you'll be floating your own conversations.

            An introduction is good, but it's like knocking on the door and loitering on the doorstep. The thing is to come on in.

                @LitteRatty hi, welcome!
                Would love tot see your art 🙂
                Concerning books, have you read those by Guy Gavriel Kay? Fantasy based on history, I think they're great.

                    @LitteRatty welcome and aloha from Hawai'i Island 🌺

                    My book recommendation is: "morality play" by Barry Unsworth. I don't read a lot of historical fiction, but I really loved this book.

                                @LitteRatty you may also want to look into installing the StreetPass extension for your browser: it's a thingie that lets you know when a web page has metadata that declares an associated Mastodon / Fediverse profile and keeps a list of all the profiles discovered like this, it's another way to find interesting accounts here

                                      You are gonna fit right in.
                                      Follow lots of cool people straight away. Click thru on their follows to find other cool people and follow them too.
                                      Follow too many people and trim back later.
                                      Welcome.
