If you're new to Mastodon;
Follow people and hashtags, lots of them. That's how this place works, there is no other way really. If you're waiting for stuff to come to you it aint gonna happen.
Start typing hashtags of things you're interested in and follow them. Put them in your introduction and/or bio.
Start following anyone that looks slightly interesting. Follow people who boost a lot and anyone they boost that looks interesting.
Can someone hand this note to everyone that shows up?
A qualified hurrah....
The First Dog on the Moon cartoon in the Guardian, while exploring all sorts of offline activities that could replace Twitter/X, does at least include Mastodon as an online alternative..... which is something I guess
Even getting mentioned seem like a small triumph, even if the mention is really not up to much

Elon Musk called me a “stalker ex gf” today for posting news and links to Washington Post stories about X on Threads.
It’s almost like I’m a tech reporter covering social media or something!
