One piece of advice for people new to #mastodon: follow capriciously. People are interesting! You lose nothing by following anyone who posts something you like. And then: unfollow just as quickly. Seriously. Nobody cares. You are creating a stream of things you're giving your attention to. You don't owe anyone your attention.

Follow fast, unfollow faster. Make this place a place you wanna be.

@fraying Following fast is easy. Unfollowing faster is the hard part.
@peterbutler @fraying how does one follow fast here? The pull-down menu seems to have every option but follow or am I just being dense?
@achinatiger @fraying I wasn't very clear. By "follow fast," I mean follow lots of people somewhat indiscriminately to fill up your timeline.
