Hello Debbie! Nice to see you over here! 
@debbieohi hi Debbie, delighted to see you here!
@sheilamaverbuch Thank you, Sheila! And I just figured out (with the help of @Knitronomicon and @jovial_cynic) that when I reply, I should change the visibility of my reply post to Unlisted if I want others to see my reply, but for it not to be picked up by the search engine.
@debbieohi I’m so glad you made it over here! Your drawings and post on the bird site always make me smile!
@debbieohi Hi Debbie! Good to see you here. I just joined and am trying to figure it out. Next step is to add an avatar!
@debbieohi Welcome. I'm also testing the waters. :) So far, the new people seem welcoming. It reminds me a little of Twitter in 2008-2009.
@Valya All new-ish social media platforms seem welcoming and fun in the beginning, as you say. We'll see what happens!
