@celi52 Welcome! You make some nice stuff.

Enjoy the fediverse. There are some toothy people here, but overall, significantly better than... anywhere else. :)

@knowprose thank you 😊

@celi52 Your smiling mushroom may like #Mosstodon and #LichenSubscribe.

@mrdk ooh thank you! I love moss and lichen. I feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole here. 😂

@celi52 Welcome to Mastodon!

When I started making those "did you know" posts, I was concerned that some people would yell at me. So far, it hasn't happened. Response has been overwhelmingly positive.

People here are really nice. I hope it stays that way.

@celi52 Love the polymer clay fairy leaf! Do you put stuff like that on your store or only stickers?

@C0rn3lius Recently it’s mostly been sticker art while I’ve been teaching myself digital illustration. I’m starting to work on more polymer clay pieces again though, so some woodland jewelry and fairy leaves should be showing up in the shop soon.

I love mixing forest themes into my art. 😊

@celi52 Hello and a belated welcome from Ireland. 👋🏼

Thank you for sharing your work! Yes, I found it was a bit of an adjustment - and a bit more effort at the beginning - coming from the algorithm-driven platforms.

Still, I think it was worth that bit of getting used to, and now I think I can say I have a much healthier approach to social media - and it's also all so much more *wholesome* 😊

Do you already follow @thebeeguy?

A belated welcome to you! The Fediverse really is a pretty nice place and you will fit right in. 🥰

If you have questions, feel free to ask - but also, you can visit Fedi.tips as well; there is a lot of good information there!

Has anyone mentioned the hashtag #BloomScrolling to you yet?

Again - welcome! 👋

@Her_Doing Thank you! I've been reading up on the how to's. Also thanks for the recommendation...def following #bloomscrolling

@celi52 welcome 🙂
following @FediTips and @FediFollows are helpful resources.

Tyrone Slothrop Mar 6

@celi52 ohai! Welcome. Those are some very nice motifs!

There’s a large constituency here for your areas of interest.

My top bit of advice would be that if anyone even seems like they might be annoying in the future, block them and move on. Timeline hygiene is important.

Crow Mar 6

@celi52 Main thing is to find you people by following hashtags that interest you.

That's about 85% of it!

Understress81 Mar 6

@celi52 welcome to the club! It'll make sense in time.

Hot Dog Water Mar 6

It's about collecting people to follow, not followers.

It works best for me as a message board, with additional access to all kindsa other stuff.

It's been the most human-focused place I've been in... looong time.

@celi52

Welcome! One tip I would like to give any new people in the Fediverse is to spend some time searching for an instance (server) that will give you the best experience. For most people that means a small to medium size instance specifically intended for people with whom you have something in common. The Fediverse has no algorithm - the other people on your instance are your algorithm. On a large general purpose instance like mastodon.social, your local feed will be "low quality" and hard to follow. On mastodon.art for example, with mostly artists and art enthusiasts, the local feed will be slower and contain lots of art. Or for example if you're a queer techie you might want to go to tech.lgbt, if you're a tabletop games aficionado then dice.camp could be your jive, if you're a radical leftist activist then give todon.eu or kolektiva.social a try... And if you're a trans person who likes shark plushies then blahaj.zone is perfect. A nice thing about the Fediverse is that you can move your account, so if you're not quite happy with where you're at now, you can move to another instance. I have moved my account twice, first from mastodon.lol to todon.nl and later from todon.nl to blahaj.zone - so do take your time to look around where your tribe is hanging out and join them there!

@MxAlba thank you for the info. Once I get my footing I'll start checking things out. 😊

Curtolian Mar 7

@celi52 Welcome! I’ve been on here for about 18 months and don’t really have any idea what the Fediverse is. Perhaps some benevolent entity controlled by benign aliens who aren’t Elon Musk. That’ll do for me.
