Reposting given so many new folks are joining #Mastodon today:

Welcome! You’re going to like the #fediverse.

- Start with an #introduction about yourself & say hello 👋

- Share content you’re passionate about to meet others with similar interests. Hashtags will help you find them faster.

- With a few exceptions (just block them) this is a pretty friendly place.

- Be patient as instance hosts adjust to the #TwitterMigration.

I’m glad you’re here.

@Sheril hi and thanks for the opportunity for my first post. Great there is now an alternative to Elon Musk's version of Twitter. Now he is blocking journalists, there should be an en masse exit by fellow journalists from the BBC and other reputable organisations across the globe.

@Sheril hi I'm Sarah, I live in Israel with my partner Tal and he and I have been together for 1 year and 3 months. We both are on Mastadon. Loving the vibe here. Being a transgender women means that we often face abuse and it's good to feel safe on this platform.
