Quick welcome thread on #Mastodon for #SexBloggers in case it's helpful.
Loads of new people have joined here lately, so first thing I'll say is if you're a sex blogger/writer/podcaster/journalist I know, feel free reply to this post with a link to your blog/podcast/work. I'm babysitting this evening, so I will go through the replies and boost at Peak Attention Time (8-10 UK time-ish).
Everyone else, dip into the replies to follow ppl.
Tip 1. Follow LOTS of people. This is early stage social network so there's tonnes of following back.
BUT CRUCIALLY! Before you go on a following spree, write a short bio and an intro post!
Like online dating, first impressions count. Make sure that when you pop up in people's 'X followed you' notifications, you have enough info posted that they can decide you look cool.
Don't be blank: an intro that says who you are, maybe one post that shows off your blog/images/podcast.
@girlonthenet I don't think this was mentioned in your thread or the replies so apologies if I missed it, but there's also the custom of writing an introduction post that you can pin (you can have multiple pinned posts) and using the hashtag # introduction on it.
Folks tend to boost the hell out of intros.
