MarilynPFSomeone gave me great advice when I started here. Don’t be a wallflower, just scrolling through your timeline. Boost the posts that made you stop a moment. Say hello to others. You’ll be an “old-timer” in a few days. Don’t just follow all the same people who are like you. Use your filter to not see topics that wear you down. Visit other countries through their photos. This place is what WE make it. Let’s build a real community. #newbies #welcome
LadySG@MarilynPF Good Morning, that's great advice 😊
caroleluck@LadySG @MarilynPF I agree! All advice here welcome! Such a long time since I started my journey in the birdie place!
Marie Walsh
Martijn Coenen@MarilynPF just saying hello! 😉
Mary Garden@martijncoenen @MarilynPF hello from regional Victoria 👋
MGCovLFC@MarilynPF What is this “boosting” about? 🤔
Zach 2W Tan@marygarden @EmGeeCovLFC @MarilynPF
Not sure what app or platform you're using, but if you're using the official app or are logged in through your web browser of choice, yeah, it should be the loop icon with the two arrows.
Jim FR@EmGeeCovLFC @MarilynPF think retweets…
@MarilynPF great ideas. Learning how to do this! Have no idea what the buttons mean!

Mrs_Moons@MarilynPF Thank you
@MarilynPF Hello! :)

EmilieH🥂@MarilynPF not sure if I am using this correctly but using a different app than the Mastodon app has greatly improved my experience. I’ve been using Tootle instead, and it’s great!
@EmilieH @MarilynPF I don't Understand 🥺
bonfantimike@MarilynPF Agree 100%! This site encourages conversation.
@bonfantimike @MarilynPF which one ? And how do I find it ?
Mrs B_Good@MarilynPF I stopped and needed to hello! ♥️ thanks for the helpful advice.
Between The Wines@MarilynPF - awesome idea. Thanks 🙏

Emmie12750@MarilynPF Thanks, that's great advice! 👍
Kam Smith@MarilynPF yes! This! Cheers to that 🥂
Rai Aren 🖖✨📚🇺🇦@MarilynPF Very helpful! One thing I hadn't yet tended to was the filter 👍
For the love of humanity@raiaren @MarilynPF Good morning from Austin, Texas in the US!
I have been reading all the tips closely that I have seen, but can't figure out how to filter. I have however made a few lists that I hope will be useful for following certain people.

Lucy@MarilynPF Hello, I’m just finding my way on here. So thank you for the encouragement
@MarilynPF hi there, us newbie’s need good advice. Thank you
David J White@MarilynPF Keep passing that along! That's the vibe.
techbits@MarilynPF "Don’t just follow all the same people who are like you" - I Couldn't agree more! It's a completely different approach here. Interest in what other people have to say & learning new things/points-of-view vs screaming into the void.
Wendy@MarilynPF @y3mz we should all try to converse and sensibly communicate. All of us have much to offer each other.
Jo AdamsWell said but people, also follow back everyone even you 'big' accounts it doesn't hurt tto show reciprocal support to the little people.
Vicki Ziegler@MarilynPF It's very good advice. Navigating and participating this way means your experience will always be a good balance of comfortable and surprising, in good ways.
Rob van der Jagt@MarilynPF Helpful tips for newbies!

Anne @annevelink_adHello Marilyn, nice to meet you.

Rev. NSD@MarilynPF also the positivity is good medicine
Toxic people love simple systems. I find myself spending more and more time here because of the quality of people's posts.
The vibe is good.
Emma Hughes@Revnsd @MarilynPF in the same! It feels so “light” doesn’t it, like you’re at a big party and pretty much everybody is nice/interesting/welcoming
Daisy Doo & TuxieGirl Betty@MarilynPF Excellent advice. I found new people to follow when I checked out the hashtags for #SilentSunday. I saw some awesome photography from all over the world, in languages I didn't understand, but I DID understand the beautiful photos.
