#MastodonTips:
Look at the Local #timeline from time to time. Even if you don't know a #hashtag to look for, you'll find new interesting people to follow! Give it a go. Your feed will grow and diversify (so there's a greater variety of content to interact with).

I've been reading posts about how to use #Mastodon to my best advantage. Using #hashtags seems to be important. Is there documentation, a Mastodon for Dummies, to enhance my feed, allow me to see the content I wish to see? Thanks in advance!

OK. I tried really hard (for me - so like did over 15mins research  ) and still couldn't figure things out.   How exactly do I put someone on #FeaturedProfiles in here and what/where is this "profile dropdown menu" thing that they talk about in docs?

Is there a way to save drafts here on Mastodon? I may get part way through writing a message and want to check other messages for reference. Or prepare a message ahead of time before sending it as something goes live.
(I found the delete and redraft after sending this the first time. But it’s not what I’m looking for.)
