Am I correct to believe there’s no algorithm to the feed here? It’s chronological posts from those you follow?

@jfslicer Welcome!

You can do an #introduction post and tell us a little about yourself. Use lots of hashtags bc those will allow others who share your interests to find you. (Text isn’t searchable here unless you use the hashtags.) Make it public so we can boost!

In addition to #PeepSimple you can also check out #MastodonTips and #FediTips or just shout into the void and someone will try to point you in the right direction.

Almost all of us are new here & we are learning together!

Hi & welcome, Deacon Social ppl!

If you’ve recently joined us from the birdsite as part of the #TwitterMigration we’re glad you’re here!

If you do a public #introduction post, the rest of us will be able to boost it. You can search #introduction to find others.

Try #MastodonTips, #FediTips, & #PeepSimple for helpful info.

If you feel lost, feel free to shout into the void & we will all try to help!

I’m no one special here, just an unofficial door greeter.

So welcome! ❤️

Hey, #PeepSimple followers, Tim is building a list of what you can do here that you couldn’t do at the #BirdSite!

Those of us who escaped the bird site are feeling unmoored and out of place, so this is great to see more cool things about our new home!

If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options: :android: Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab :apple_inc: iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot! 💻 Computers - Log in through your server's website Mastodon was designed for websites and third party apps. These are *still* the best ways to use Mastodon! (Official app exists because new people were only looking for an official app in app stores, and giving up when they didn't find one. You don't need to use it!)

1/4 A key thing I've learned about Mastodon: When you find your friends on here, don't just follow them — add them to a list! If you follow a lot of accounts, your close friends' posts may not show up in your feed at a time you're logged on. Unlike FB or Twitter, Mastodon has no algorithm to resurface your friends' posts from hours or days ago. Solution: Create a list called "Friends" and check it when you're on. This will ensure that you see what they posted while you were away. (cont'd)
