Apparently there’s another influx of new folks here, so I guess I should give my best tidbit of advice:

You have to really actively seek out people to follow here, much more than you’re used to — and until you do, this place will feel •dead•. Cool stuff isn’t just going to show up. You won’t get many helpful suggestions. No tech giant marketing dept is spending millions to draw you in. It’s going to be •work•. It’s kind of a drag, tbh.

But: your people are out there!! You just have work to seek them out, one account at a time.

@inthehands I started with searching for people who I’d enjoyed following on Twitter. That got me a dozen or so accounts to follow. Then I paid attention to which people those dozen were boosting, some of which I began to follow. Then I used the Search (Magnifying Glass icon on the iPad Mastodon app) to browse posts “in the wild,” and that got me another several accounts to follow. I’ve been here a couple years now and it’s a much better experience than any other I’ve tried.
