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
