Hiiiii I’m Zoe and I’m migrating from the bird app. I post about #OFMD and craft projects I’m working on. I also like writing fanfiction! 
@zoestertoaster Hi Zoe! Welcome and nice to meet you~! There seems to be quite a number of OFMD fans on here + other instances. If you add some tags (#/OFMD) to your post, it'll help them find you (and then you can also follow that hashtag to find other people!). Hope you enjoy your time here
@geraineon thank you!! (I’m using an app that I don’t think has the ability to edit posts at the moment, but I’ll try to figure out editing!!)

@zoestertoaster Welcome!

Best thing I can recommend for starters is pin this intro post and edit to add the #introduction hashtag, include some hashtags you're interested in, search and follow those hashtags, and go follow a bunch of people! There's no algorithm here, so it won't push content to you. You see a chronological post timeline of the people and hashtags you've chosen to follow.

Oh, and check #mastotips #feditips. Ask any questions you want, people are helpful

@LCWebsXOXO yup!! haha I was treating it kind of like tumblr so I was cautious with the tags 😅 (tagging things feels like yelling when I barely know what the conversation is like at the moment). I’m filling up my timeline!! I love the chronological post timeline

@zoestertoaster yaaaaaaaas it's so much better than the fucking algorithm.

Some mechanics are definitely different. SMAUthors' best bet is most likely to figure out groups so end users can mute SMAUs they don't want to have overrunning their timeline - fortunately it looks REALLY easy.

@zoestertoaster niiiceee, fanfic writers are the glue of my sanity at this point♥️
