I really don't know what to do here since no one I know is here...

@pbnjay may I suggest you follow the local or federated timeline and jump into conversations. It's ok to talk to strangers here. And welcome to Mastodon.

@xuv thanks I didn't know that! I'm used to getting ignored on twitter (or ignoring spambots...)

@pbnjay This is why this is not Twitter ☺ I can't promise you'll get a response for all your toots in the wild. But look out for people here that you might discuss with. Search for #hashtags that might interest you. Just enjoy being on a free network.

@pbnjay I've actually found that to be the best part of being here. Since I don't know anyone, I can feel free to just be the person I want to be instead of what the people I know expect.

It's just been fun to read through the federated feed and just randomly comment on things here and there and just seeing what develops.

@Supernova a very extrovert-friendly place i guess.

I think the issue really is that a lot of the circles I try to follow don't exist here yet (and I'm not extroverted enough to just comment out of the blue on topics outside my interests)

@Supernova @pbnjay I've just been tweeting to no one in particular with hashtags of my interests, so that when the next person joins and searches... ;)

@patcon @Supernova my #hashtags bring all the #toots to the yard?

@pbnjay @patcon it certainly helps... I think! :smile:
