What's everyone using to access #mastodon ? Official app, third-party app, web version? #newheretoo
@dbur
Welcome!
Use hashtags, follow people you find interesting, and let others know you're here. Nice bunch of folks to be found, and if you have any questions, don't be shy.

Hi there.

An instance is the same as a server. Mine is @newsie.social, and you're at @toot.io

And yes, people on other instances can see your posts if they follow you.

They can also see what you post when you use hashtags, e.g., #newheretoo, #mastodonmigration.

Likes and boosts are indeed cumulative.

Make use of hashtags--you will have more responses since more people will read what you have to say.

Overall, people are nice & helpful.

Following. Welcome! 😀

Could this be due to the influx of accounts since #Musk man apparently has lost his mind?

It only takes a few seconds to write a descriptive text for pictures, gifs, and other images.

Mastodon is the first platform where I've encountered such a request.

This should be a matter of practice. #newheretoo

Hi and welcome! It's wonderful meeting fellow #resisters. I've been here since Nov. 20. The people here are really nice. Hashtags are important here and don't be shy when it comes to asking questions. Movetodon.org helps find Twitter friends who've moved here and Mastodon has a user's manual to help you become better acquainted. https://mastodon.help. #twittermigration #newheretoo
