@ruud Oh my, that IS a lot.....I'm brand new here myself, and can't quite figure it out yet.
@ruud I've got to figure this place out.......
@karenrobson Let me know if you need any help with that..
@ruud Well, how do I find somebody for instance....
@karenrobson Depends who you're looking for :-)
There's 3 things to start with.
1) Add a picture to your profile , and maybe a header image (on website in the browser, under Preferences > Profile)
2) Write an #introduction post. Use many #hashtags of your interests so people can find you. Afterwards you can also click these hashtags in your own post, to see who's talking about that.
3) See https://communitywiki.org/trunk/ for more people grouped by interests
Trunk for the Fediverse

@ruud Thank you for your tutorial....I will probably try a few of those things once I figure out how to get a picture on the computer and where a picture might be on this computer. I am so computer illiterate it's not funny!! Thanks!
