Sean BalaI've been thinking about the difference between the #Twitter and #Reddit implosions. I was not very invested in Twitter, so I did not feel like I have been missing much. But Reddit is a different story. I went through a bad period a few years ago and, far from being a cesspool, Reddit actually helped me pull myself out of my slump. Sharing with others on things I care about was a godsend. I don't care about Twitter - but I am sad about the stuff with Reddit and the loss of communities. 1/2
OwlInDaWoods@seanbala i feel this. I'm only on mastodon today because of the reddit blackout. I feel isolated without my communities.
@OwlInDaWoods Hi there! Welcome to #Mastodon - it can be a really great place once you learn the ropes. How are you finding things? Feel free to ask.
Here is a great place to start:
@FediFollows is also a great place to learn about new accounts.
I definitely recommend following people. I found I didn't have a good flow until I followed about 120 - 150 accounts.
And #followfriday is a great, community supported post to find new people.
