@jecko Hi Jecko! Nice to meet you.

Consider writing an #introduction where you present yourself a little more than a Bio would normally do, so people can see who they’ll follow!

It’s also common for people on Mastodon to help boost introductions, so you get introduced to even more people!

Welcome to Mastodon and hope you’ll come to enjoy it.

@mosgaard I’ll add this for my collab prof @Jono_Podmore so he can add an intro post when he can, then we can boost that

@Jono_Podmore @mosgaard + I need to update my intro to a short one. Doing my head in

@elifyalvac @Jono_Podmore to be honest, I like a lengthy introduction and think you have made a great one. But that might just be me who likes getting to know people :)

@mosgaard @Jono_Podmore Glad to read that :-) Maybe I can add a TLDR one but yeah my lovely nettime instance and the community do have the longer post option (not to get tricked by the tldr at the beginning haha)

@elifyalvac @mosgaard 🤯 OK - I'm sure I've got 400 word bio somewhere!
Show threadElif YalvacFeb 22
@Jono_Podmore @mosgaard doesn’t have to be like that 400 programme notes kind of bio. it is like saying hello to people who want to know why you’re here and connecting with them, asking them who they are.

Just done an #introduction but isn't the same as profile text?
Show threadElif YalvacFeb 22
@Jono_Podmore @mosgaard your profile bio can’t be reposted/boosted where as introduction can be. We boost so you can connect with others in our instance and followers. Don’t deprive fediverse of prof Jono Podmore please. Here is a helpful guide from @lislegaard https://www.kristofferlislegaard.com/blog/2025-01-25-how-to-get-started-on-mastodon-fediverse/

@elifyalvac @Jono_Podmore @lislegaard I see the #introduction as a more casual standard post, using the hashtag #introduction.

I would write a more casual presentation of myself, where the bio is a static often more formel “facts about me” text.

When you make a traditional post and use the hashtag, the post both show up for those who are following the hashtag, and the rest of us can see the post since we follow you, and boost it (share it) to our followers, to help more people connect.
