Seeing an influx of people making accounts here, a good time as any to make sure we're friendly and helpful to those who are new ^w^

Quick crash-course for Masto:-
- Don't use the official app, if Android=Tusky, if Apple=Ice Cubes is good I hear (I don't use Apple products so ask folks who do for advice on that!)
- Use Content Warnings for stuff you'd not want to see while scrolling; Rant, Violence, NSFW, etc.
- Follow Hashtags to start, I recommend #furry #furryart #fursuit anything else that interests you, posts with the # you follow will populate your Home feed until you follow more people
- Don't like something? Block it or Mute the word; seems obvious but I've seen others complain about it - you did it on the other sites, just need to do it here
- Need help with something? #mastotips & #feditips are your friend, folks here are generally quite helpful especially to newcomers so ask with the # and someone will help

With that out the way; Enjoy using Masto!

@JasperSparks if your instance is running a recent version of mastodon, the content filtering by keyword is great.

You can make it expire. And you can also choose if you want to have it block the content completely or just put it behind a warning so you can choose to unhide it.

Content warnings are a great courtesy to make others more comfortable but we also have tools like filtering to help ourselves.
