If you have any questions about how to get your account configured, which app to try (official is bad), or anything else, I'm only an @ or DM away.

@Texan_Reverend If I'm on Mastodon.social, how easy is it to follow/interact with people on here (or other servers for that matter)?

@QuestingWiest Generally, as easy as emailing someone who uses a different service. You open their profile from a post or by searching for their username, then click/tap Follow. After that point, their new posts and boosts (reposts) will show up in your main timeline, in reverse chronological order, without any ads. There can be occasional syncing quirks from this interconnected servers model which I'd be happy to discuss if you want to know more. However, the main timeline function is solid.
