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! I'm looking forward to seeing your art! Make sure to use Hashtags like # Art # painting # Illustration whatever fits best, so I will see it!

@LitteRatty My religion has Romanian roots, so I always think the world—and therefore Fedi—needs more Romanian influence. Welcome!
@VoiceofDuum here I am, bringing my small drop of influence to the Fedi

@LitteRatty Welcome to the #fediverse
@redtailworks thank you, nice to meet such a warm community!

@LitteRatty Wow, you have a gazillion answers and I gave up trying to read all of them, so sorry if this is info you've already been given several times: As a shy person myself, my main interaction at the start was hitting the "favourite" button a lot. There are always posts telling new members that that button does nothing on here, because there's no algorithm, and that I should boost everything instead, but I didn't want to spam my followers with too many boosts, so I just stubbornly (1/2)

@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)

@LitteRatty
Welcome to the Fedi! One way to meet people is browsing the #introduction tag and spreading the welcome love to other new folks. That helped me overcome my shyness here.@wordsmith thank you, indeed the warm welcome of the community is so encouraging! I'm surely going to greet newcomers too and help them feel at home in this place.

@LitteRatty
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.
@JessMahler thank you.

@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. -

@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).
