Hi, we are new on #Mastodon, looking for some #Hardcore #Punk #DIY network off the well known corporate social networks.

[fearskaper@mastodon.social]

@bernard_dub Ok, we did, and to #Hardcore, #Screamo, #Mosh and #Sludge Cheers!

[bernard_dub@mastodon.social]

@fearskaper You're all set then. I love the #punk hashtag, it's pretty universal across the world. So sit back and enjoy the serendipity

[punc@mastodon.ie]

@fearskaper fáilte! welcome!

If you're looking for interesting people to follow, I find it useful to

- search for accounts/bots you already follow on other social media sites

- follow tags you're interested in, like #punk until you find accounts that post about stuff you're interested in

Mastodon is slower than other social media, but it's also more personal and less stressful (in my experience)

[punc@mastodon.ie]

@fearskaper oh also! Check out https://fedi.punk.guide/ and get yourself listed. I've picked up a few followers from it .....

[fearskaper@mastodon.social]

@punc Thank you. Don't think that Mastodon is slower, we had probably more personal conversations here in the last hour than on Instagram during the last year. Feels human, feels good. Cheers!

[fearskaper@mastodon.social]

@punc We found you via that page

[bravegoodgirl@troet.cafe]

@fearskaper Okey dokey, than...see you there, soon

[irisfreundin@troet.cafe]

@fearskaper Everything here works with hashtags. When you use a hashtag, all users who follow that hashtag will receive your tweet. When you follow (subscribe to) a hashtag, you will receive all tweets that contain that hashtag. There is no other way to distribute your tweets.

So it is not necessary to collect followers, your toots reach the right users anyway.

@fearskaper
There's also the @punk "group". Mention and follow it for more punk content.
By the way: welcome to the fediverse

[flominator@genealysis.social]

@fearskaper
Maybe @dgar wants to boost your #introduction?

[lorimolson@mstdn.ca]

@fearskaper Welcome.

Also, we refer to those other places as the “legacy corporate social media”

[dec23k@mastodon.ie]

@fearskaper
Check out @The_Counterforce

[curiousicae@tech.lgbt]

@fearskaper
Note that hashtags have somewhat limited reach, consider also subscribing to and mentioning !@punk (without the “!” – that’s just to not create noise there with this post). In longer run, consider transferring off of mastodon.social once you’ve found a nice place to stay.
