Mastodawn

Actually going to try and #mastodon this time, so I figure it's time to make an #introduction post.

Greetings! I'm Ryan!

I'm a #transfem nerd who enjoys #anime #startrek and #godzilla

I used to #game quite a bit, but I've been suffering from a lack of motivation that I'm trying to dig out of. I still do play #FFXIV on occasion, but nowhere near as hardcore as before.

Been trying to get into #streaming on #twitch just as a hobby, more to meet and socialize with people rather than earn money or gain a following.

@ryan_z Hello Ryan!

Outside of Godzilla, it seems our interests align somewhat! Welcome to #Mastodon

What #startrek series is your favorite?

@cliftonmr Hi!

I grew up watching #TNG, and it holds a special place in my heart. I need to catch up on the newer series since I finally got Paramount+

Attached: 2 images Aaaaand we're off again! Hello to the new wave of #TwitterMigration #Twitter #TwitterExodus and please enjoy a few tips for getting started! 1: There's no algorithm to fill your Home feed for you. You _must_ explore. 2: What are the feeds? "Home" is who and what you _explicitly_ follow "This server" is everyone on your instance "Other servers" is everyone followed by anyone on your instance. 3: #Hashtags are important here, and can be followed. To do so, search for one, then click the "add" icon in the search results bar. 4: Follow (and unfollow) with abandon! Follow people who boost a lot, that helps you find stuff. But you can also follow people and choose _not_ to see their boosts, see first photo. Welcome, and good hunting! 🧵:

I didn't realize you had a moderately-popular guide to getting started! I'm going to bookmark this for later. Always interacting with new folks who will find this useful.

@moira Thanks! That guide is really helpful!

Welcome to ya! I hear ya regarding the gaming. The most I played any particular game was #worldofwarcraft from 2004 to about 2019. I have at least been hopping into #vrchat intermittently (though I have socialized there a lot in the past), and also played the latest Zelda and Diablo games as well, though I am currently taking a temporary break.
I hope you enjoy your streaming, and I imagine that it'll be a bit more relaxing to do it just to enjoy it and socialize rather than to try to make an income out of it or try to get oodles of followers.
Take care!
