Hey new people and those thinking of joining, you do NOT need to sign up on huge servers!

You can follow and interact with people on any server from any server, the servers are connected.

It would really, really help the network right now if you could sign up on medium or small size servers. You will still be able to follow and interact with whoever you want, and the network as a whole will work much better.

A good safe place for beginners to find servers to join is https://joinmastodon.org/servers

You also don't need to be on the same server as your friends.

You can find each other from different servers by exchanging account addresses, here's how it works:

It's a bit like exchanging phone numbers!

@feditips I am finding it impossible to follow people from the link they send. I get this message. I am using chrome on android. The search bar on the left is not operational, I can't search for either users or hashtags. Any advice you could give would be appreciated.
