@ashraf0406 @jishnu @arximughal @rafi @usman 1) Profile - add a profile pic (anything); fill ur bio so people have an idea of who u r and what u do. Use #'s in your bio, and add links to other socials too.
2) Intro - write up a post using #introduction describing urself and ur interests. People primarily find each other here using hashtags the old school way (there is no algorithm!). The last couple lines should just be a DOZEN #'s you find relevent!
@ashraf0406 @jishnu @arximughal @rafi @usman 3) Follow people - using hashtags you can find people with similar interests to yours and get following. Additionally, every friday people use #FollowFriday to connect across the fediverse.
You can only see followers and followings of people on your instance (Paktodon.Asia), that trick doesnt work for everyone. Which is why hashtags are important!
@ashraf0406 @jishnu @arximughal @rafi @usman 4) Follow hashtags! We suggest following #Paktodon #Pakistan #GlobalSouth #Asia #SouthAsia #Paktodon #India #Bangladesh #SriLanka #SouthAsianDiaspora #MuslimFedi #Muslim #SEA #SouthEastAsia
