@WTL Hello, it’s me, the prickly pear cactus behind you. Welcome to Mastodon!
@josh @WTL Or the Gympie Stinging Tree on your right.
@josh Why thank you! I have a prickly cactus in my window!
@WTL let's hope it stays this way

@ryan

If we all work together, I am optimistic, that this will be possible :)

@WTL

@WTL  🌸🌹🌻🪷🏡🌳💜😊
@WTL   I really love this.
@WTL Where's the doubletriplequadruple boost button‽
@WTL Way to make an entrance. 😀
@WendyMsGator It's going to be hard to follow it up for certain, but I have to admit, the kindness and friendliness of everyone has been a bit overwhelming, in a good way.
@WTL agree. I left Twitter a few years ago and only joined mastodon because I'm recovering from surgery and was bored. Everyone has been so kind so far. I think I've found my people ❤

@LumpySpaceEllie
I'm so glad you like Mastodon! Quite a few new users sound a bit lost and potentially irritated. Nice to hear something positive.

Recommendations: you likely already considered reading and Netflix. Card games like patience? Knitting, crochet embroidery? Or how about a jigsaw app on your phone, I love those. Not sure what this app is called (you don't need to access FB, and most sizes are free):

@Giagia some people will find anything to grump about 😄 I miss quote tweets but thats about it. I like the content warning feature alot. Ideal for bad mental health days ❤
@LumpySpaceEllie The CW feature is great! I wasn't enamoured of it when I first joined, only in April during the previous wave. But I have come to love it. Really useful and can also be used in a sort of: watch out spoiler! way that can act as a teaser.
There is a convoluted way of QT ing (if the OP doesn't mind), you need to copy the link to the toot into a new post, copy the OP handle in and insert your 2 cents worth above. I just had my last QT started by Aravosis, so OK by him

@WTL

OH YES TOTALLY!
Peace Love and Mungbeans in a lovely green nirvana ☮️💚

@WTL It’s cool now that there are more people here. Twitter was quiet when I first started there too. Nice to have it quiet again.
@WTL I even deleted the Twitter app off of my phone for 7 days so I can see how I feel. 🤷‍♂️
@denvercoder @WTL let’s hope it stays this way for some time…
@denvercoder @WTL The cool thing about Mastodon is that if it gets too "loud" for any of us, we can just spin our own instances! The way it's designed is awesome for fostering smaller communities! =)
@Natsu_Kaze @WTL I did spin up my own instance. 😂
@denvercoder @WTL Guess you're way ahead of me then, hahah! 😂 💪
@WTL I like it here. But that's just me.
@WTL
@Xantulon there is a point where you want to say "firetruck" but the vegetation attacks you screaming "FLOWER!" 😏
@WTL You mean, everything isn't on fire? 😂 Sounds about right.
@WTL it’s more than fine.
@WTL can I pinch this? ❤️
@CazHallArt Absolutely!
@WTL thank the lord ‘cause I already kinda did 😃👍😘😘
@WTL Great impression Mastodon but even more impressive is the number of kilometers you ran in one year. Wow! How do you find the time?
@tewade I have a non-optional start to my morning with a run to wrap my brain around my day (and chew through a bunch of podcasts). The main thing, I guess, is that I make time to do it; I cut down some of my TV/movie time and replaced it. I continually bewildered by the fact that I'm a runner now.
@WTL It really is like this, especially after finding out about #mosstodon and #LichenSubscribe 😄

@WTL This is great. I had a similar idea with a bit more ambiguity in the message and done much more sloppy.

@WTL 😂 Mastodon't have a clue what I'm doing
@WTL @Philsturgeon I reckon you’ll appreciate this
@WTL
We finally have the denouement for that rescue
@WTL I find this accurate. May I post a screenshot of this outside of Fediverse [is this the right way to ask for consent]?
