How do I even activate this space??

@Paridhigupta

It is active...

@LienRag yeah, I meant, find my people :)

@Paridhigupta

I guess that depends on who are your people...
Have you tried following hashtags ?

@Paridhigupta @LienRag 1. share your thoughts, ideas 2. search for interesting topics and talk to people.
@Paridhigupta Follow people and boost toots.
@susanheklicht @Paridhigupta Yeah, this. Mastodon doesn't push posts on you, unlike the Birdsite. You have to put in some initial effort to find others.
@juergen_hubert @susanheklicht yeah, definitely. Also the interface has changed from when I first joined, so bit of a learning curve/slump

@Paridhigupta Welcome back, You should engage more using hashtags, they are very important for people to discover you.

Now there is a new option to just follow hash tags unlike before.

As said before keep following a lot of people, boost their posts and keep reminding them that we are all in here together as a community. More community engagement benefits the community as well as the individual.
