If you’re new to the #Fediverse, let me give you a tip, and some freedom: no one gives a shit how many people you follow. Metrics don’t matter here. No one is keeping score. Post good content. Be a good human. Or just hang out and enjoy good content and good humans. Follow people to get good content. Follow as many people as are sharing interesting content, because that’s how content gets into your feed. 😇 You are free to be.

@chancerydaily Just joined from Twitter and I'm still so confused how this whole website works

@Knz

It is so confusing at first. There are a million apps for UI. There is so much customization, it took me months to get comfortable. But that’s because you can have it however you want it, it’s not being forced on you one particular way. Which is amazing and daunting, to find how you want it. I suggest trying many apps early and often. @ivory @tootapp @IceCubesApp @MetaText are my favs for iOS and @elk is the most beautiful for desktop, hands down.

What is so glorious for those of you just joining now is how much innovation has taken place here, without the drive of advertiser or data mining dollars, in just the space of a handful of months. It’s been so inspiring to watch a truly vibrant and authentic development community work. It’s enough to make you believe in humanity again, which—to be fair, after last year—was a tall order.

@chancerydaily https://alpha.trunks.social/ is another one for your list of things to try. One of its standout features for me is that it makes it very easy to scroll your timeline by either boosts or posts. Turns out that its sometimes surprisingly nice to only read all the boosts. Its like reading an algorithmic suggested timeline, but theres no algorithm and all the posts are things I actually want to see.
