New here on #mastodon any reccomendations where to start and what to look out here for?
I enjoy gaming, anime, technology, finances and finding new people to get into contact with would be also awesome!
I am grateful for every tip and trick.

@zenohmin Definitely write an #Introduction post detailing the things you just listed, but with hashtags! :-)
Note you can actually follow hashtags here, making it easy to keep up with your interests and find people that way.
@JesseF8693
Put up a picture and have an actual profile or many people are not willing to follow you guys.
@kaukamieli Not everyone can upload a good profile picture, though.
@JesseF8693
No? It doesn't have to be picture of you. Empty elephant just is not a great look.
@kaukamieli No it doesn't. I could search for, say, a picture of a cat online, but I wouldn't know exactly what kind of picture I'd be taking. Or even if it's cropped properly.

@JesseF8693
You can always get a better one after getting something.

I'm just saying I see a lot of people saying they do not follow people without picture and profile.

@kaukamieli Profile I can do easily. I don't think I'll ever understand the emphasis on profile pictures though. As you said it's not a good "look." But looks are very often either deceptive or meaningless in my experience.
@JesseF8693
If you don't care, that's fine. You do you. I did notice you had something on your profile already.
@zenohmin So the thing that boosted you, relay.fedi.buzz, is a great way to fill your home feed with hashtags that interest you. Just search/follow tags with [email protected] where TAGNAME is the tag, like bikes, and you'll start getting stuff from all around tht #fediverse.
@shanie thanks for the explanation, i will be looking around way more today and trying a lot of stuff to get adjusted!
