@NikaShilobod

I found movetodon.org pretty easy to use and effective at recreating my follow list from Twitter (which made things over here feel a little more homey).

#Welcome to #Mastodon. I have come to #help you find your way. Where are you? What is this? Mastodon is a decentralized social network. That means it is not all one website. Instead, it is a collection of websites which talk to one another. Each one is called an instance. Let's say there's an instance called dogs.social, all about our furry friends. To register, you would go to this website specifically. Once that's done and you're exploring, you'll notice that you're in... an empty timeline.

I made a Chrome extension (works in Edge, Safari & Firefox coming soon!) to make following people, favoriting, bookmarking & boosting toots on remote instances easy as your home instance!

@NikaShilobod @feditips @FediFollows Thank you so much for helping us newbies 🫶🏼 It kinda feels familiar but then the different server are a bit confusing. I am new here too. Just came over from birdsite. Guess I will have to have a few hours of reading in front of me. I think it’s worth it though!

@NikaShilobod @feditips @FediFollows Why are there so few pictures that people toot? Twitter is very visually interesting because so many people add pictures to their posts.
