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 Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the official app? I use Tusky just cuz that's one of the recommended options from the furry masto thingie I was reading.

From my previous experiences with it, it doesn't include the ability to draft or schedule toots along with a few other creature comforts Tusky has; like being able to have any TL in any order along the tabs section (up to 5 options) - personally, I have from left to right; Home, "Friends" (List), Notifs, Specific Hashtags, DMs

Granted, it's been a few months since I last used the official Masto app so maybe it's improved, but other folks keep saying how much better Tusky is by comparison
