@ianjporter Pleased to meet you. I find that the hashtagging on profiles and #introduction pages does help connect with other people, #histodons, #librarians, #ukulele players and #journalists included ... although I'm still looking for more people geographically close to where I live in the #NewRiverValley of #Virginia.
