Some time ago I have exercised #SelfCare by subscribing to all cat-related hashtags on Mastodon. Ever since then, when I open Mastodon, the first thing I see are these beautiful animals and it makes my day a tiny bit brighter. They do a great job at displacing all the political discussions and dramas, and things I always get too invested in, even though I have zero influence over them. Now it's mostly cats.

Try it!

Cats are the best and using those hashtags to fill out the timeline is absolutely necessary in my opinion.

@unfa and if you don't want cats all the time, the time dependant hashtag of #caturday helps start your weekend off right.
@unfa Would recommend #rabbit #rabbits #rabbitsofmastodon too, and of course all the donkeys on #asstodon :-)
@unfa For me the problem with those hashtags/accounts is there always are too many. So the local community drowns under. Maybe I just use Mastadon incorrectly...
@unfa у меня плохие новости — кошки связаны с политикой напрямую:

@Woodcat Hi! Sorry, I don't speak this language :D (I'm from Poland, not Ukraine in case you wondered).
O, ostatnio pytałem z czym ludzie utożsamiają tu flagi w nazwie…
@unfa Cóż, w takim razie link nie jest istotny… Próbowałem nauczyć się polskiego, aby uzyskać Karta Polaka, ale… niezbyt skutecznie.
