Do you have a friend or family member who is not on Mastodon?
And you are thinking, "love to introduce them, but the whole multiple servers thing... 🤔"
Well, you are in luck.

In minutes, #newbies will be up and running on mastodon.social (other instances coming soon).
@spreadmastodon has been developed by @tchambers and his team, so you know it's safe to recommend.
Let's do this!
@mastodonmigration @tchambers @spreadmastodon fyi the hamburger menu isn’t working for me. On Firefox iOS.
Also, what does the ‘enhance’ action do? It isn’t explained.
We know of a bug in some mobile UI on the hamburger menu...thanks tho, on our list.👍
Enhance: is a set of tools for adding recommended active followers, following top hashtags, and points users to apps.

Having just used it on a less important account, I can say it's a very basic onboarding type scenario, where it gives you a bunch of topics and people it thinks you might want to follow, then a bunch of tips and information, and a way to migrate your Twitter follows.
What I find odd about it is that it asks for way more permission than it needs to follow people. I'm wondering if maybe whoever was programming it set it up to ask for everything when they were working on it, then forgot to remove that when they narrowed it down to follows.

For the one-click following of hashtags, group of accounts, etc we def needed read/write access, but happy to go back into our app and ensure that we were asked for the bare minimum to get the app working:
