what is going on here?
well i am new to this whole fediverse/kbin/decentralized social media stuff but i am veeeery very interested at what all this is.
well its very complicated to "get the hang of" so can somebody please explain how all of this works? i im overwhelmed
@piezzo heya. so there's probably 3 timelines you're looking at:
federated - this shows off public toots from all servers that kbin.social knows about. lotta stuff in here, it pretty much never stops
local - toots from people on the kbin.social server
home - tools from people you're following (this'll be near dead at the start)
i'd recommend you scroll thru federated or local for a while, and find interesting people to follow
more advanced tips when you start dipping your toes into posting:
- Use CWs (content warnings) liberally. Politics/eye contact are 2 used commonly. If you check media under my profile you'll see what I've done so far.
- Totally cool here to be a person instead of a brand.
- When posting images, always include alt-text. This allows those with visual challenges to enjoy your post, too.
- Use Hashtags. It's how searches get found. Use CamelCase for the tags, not lowercase.
