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 ivory requires you to pay to respond to other people πŸ’€
@FirebirdAde @JasperSparks what’s wrong with paying a developer for an app they develop? Lol. Not to mention one that had twitter abruptly completely kill their last clients.
Ivory is great.
@colinstu @FirebirdAde is it a per time payment or a one time thing?
@JasperSparks @FirebirdAde $1.99/mo or $14.99/yr (1.25/mo), and that gives access to their iPhone and iPad and desktop app.
They charged back when it was Tweetbot, but it was also the absolute best Twitter client back then too.

@colinstu @FirebirdAde thank you for letting me know! As mentioned in other posts, I don't have Apple products myself so was going off what close friends had advised πŸ˜
