Reposting: Please for heavens sake, please put some sort of human bio up on your #mastodon account if you want folks to follow you. Also some sort of photo would be good too. If the photo is not of you, explaining the connection to you in your bio is very helpful for people. Finally, put hashtags in your bio of groups or threads you want to belong to. Like #histodons and #histodon for historians. Cheers!
@jessicawranosky how do I add a banner to my profile
@alicetawhai you have to do it on a computer, not on the phone app. Go to your profile through a computer through a browser and you will see the button. Cheers!
