As artists rely on audiences for support and earning a living, it's scary and difficult having to start over on a new platform. I know a lot of you are nervous, and worried, and anxious right now. Here's a little thread on how you can get settled in on the fediverse, how to build up a community here, and how to get your work seen.

The main form of discovery on here revolves around hashtags. Unlike other platforms, there's no algorithm here, no punishement for using (or not using) tags /🧵

@Curator Just signed up on Mastodon today (mastodon.me.uk). Cheerio Twitter, fun while it lasted.
No matter what you're interested in, which part of the Mastodon network you are on, this thread is a really helpful and welcoming intro. Particularly the points about tags and (lack of) algorithms, for folk joining from platforms with machine-driven discovery. Keeping it human here, like it already!
Thanks muchly for posting 🙂
