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 With my headspace I’ve long felt like I need two accounts: one small, intimate, familiar and calm space, and one that’s totally gregarious and capricious and voracious and draws me out. I wish you could flip a single account between introvert and extrovert modes like a thermostat.

@holgate @fraying I sort of do that by keeping my follow list small (through frequent pruning off after adding a few more follows than is working well for me) but then browsing the explore column in extrovert moments.

@holgate @fraying But that isn’t the same as a single account that has two follow views one pared down and one expansive.
