Welcome to the Fediverse. It's nice here!
Remember to report horrible things, your admins and mods can and will deal with it.
Don't try to "grow your brand" here, the Fedi doesn't really work like that. Virality doesn't really happen. It's nice!
Connect with people. Make new friendships. Just be, in a place that respects you as a human.
@adele if you check the Federated timeline, you can see a bunch of interesting people to follow. Otherwise, there’s @FediFollows that you can check out 🙂
Overall, a smaller server will give you a much more community vibe than a large one
@adele online you should be able to see 3 timelines: Home, Local & Federated.
Home is people you follow & posts they share from others.
Local is everyone on aus.social.
Federated is every person on every network of all the connected servers across Mastodon.
You build your home timeline yourself, by following/unfollowing other people.
I might be missing some stuff but I hope this is helpful.
Post questions, or ask the team at Aus.social. Someone will try to help 😊
