I don't know how useful this will be, but I've compiled a quick start guide, with lots of screenshots, aimed at #humanities #academics who are #NewToMastodon, trying to cover some of the things I see people most frequently getting stuck on in some less technical language than existing documentation.

I've put it on #HumanitiesCommons open for edits and comments so that other folks can help fill out things like useful hashtags.

@amv regarding the 'share' button & Windows: It depends on your browser.

On Edge, it brings up a standard Windows share window. On Firefox, it doesn't seem to appear at all, let alone.do anything.

@amv (Bookmarks are apparently a Mastodon 4 innovation; transportation.social is still on v3.5.3, so there are no bookmark icons here. However, my other account on a v4.0.2 server has them in the expected place and shows the same share button behavior, so I didn't bother redoing the screenshots....)
