#introduction

@LitteRatty
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.

@LitteRatty welcome! Here’s a list of books if you run out. https://docs.skunkwerks.at/s/kqKw9D__3 i culled this from many sources and am slowly working my way through them

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.

Welcome. May I suggest #Feditips plus add hashtags e.g. #Art

Good luck

@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.

Welcome LitteRatty

Don't worry, it does get easier to use this place once you've been here a while (and there are good reasons why this place is structured like this).

Welcome!

There's a very active arts community on here, and lots of writers.

Highly recommend you explore and check out hashtags. Following hashtags is a great way to find people to follow, and to get your posts in front of other people

# AmReading is a good place to see what other readers are enjoying and share your own reads.
