Some advise for new peeps on Mastodon:

The people you're following would generally *love* to follow you back IF you:
* Post an #Introduction toot and pin it
* Fill out your profile's bio
* Put in a profile picture

Whenever I get a follow request and there's no profile pic, no bio, no intro, and no toots posted yet in general, I don't follow back, because I don't know anything about that person. It's like being introduced to a person wearing a bag over their head. ;)

#Boost please :D

@RL_Dane Thanks. Will do. Having difficulty uploading a profile pic that fits the servers requirements at the moment. And not sure how to pin. Will keep at it.

@[email protected] Depends a lot on which client or frontend you're using, but if it's the actual standard mastodon web interface, you just hit the … on the bottom of the post and select "Pin on profile." Most mobile clients don't have ALL of the features, so definitely try just going directly to your instance with a web browser when you can't find a feature you're looking for. I've also verified that the mobile-friendly web-frontend https://pinafore.social offers the pin feature.
