Tiny Mastodon Newbie Profile Page Tips 🐘✨: About your profile page 👤 If you just arrived here, before following lots of people, it’s a good idea to complete your profile page. This will increase the chances of people following you back and finding your profile. 1. Write about who you are and/or what you like in your profile bio (you can use hashtags there so people can find you). It’s okay if it’s short, but write something 📝 2. Personalize your profile picture with something you like. Don’t just let the Mastodon default, it makes you look like an anonymous bot. And you are not a bot! (unless you are) 🤖 3. You can write an introduction about yourself in a toot (post) and use the hashtag “# introduction” (minus the space). You can pin this toot to your profile page so that it stays at the top. You don’t have to write it right away, but it can help people finding you and deciding to follow you #️⃣ 4. Post or boost a few toots that you like, so that your profile timeline isn’t completely empty :boost_ok: 5. Then, when your profile looks like a page that represents you, follow the people that interest you. Interact with them. Be kind 💚 Make friends! :ablobsmile: 6. Magic!✨ #TinyMastodonTip #Mastodon

Handy #Mastodon tip that I just noticed. We can "Delete and ReDraft" a post. I love that we don't have to start over if we make a mistake.

My new Mastodon app ‘Mammoth’ is now ready to beta test.

If you’ve found that all the Mastodon apps out there currently haven’t been great, you’re in luck. 😏

Two things that are really important on here:

♿ Add text descriptions to your images/videos/audio. Accessibility is fundamental. More info: https://fedi.tips/mastodon-and-fediverse-accessibility-tips/#HowDoIMakePostsMoreAccessibleToBlindPeople

⚠️ Use Content Warnings on anything that people may not want to read right now. It could be upsetting like violence or politics, mild like movie spoilers, but either way it shows empathy and consideration for strangers. More info: https://fedi.tips/staying-safe-on-mastodon/#UsingContentWarnings

These features are key to keeping this place friendly. Please use them. 🙏 ❤️

I hope long time #mastodon users don’t mind all of us bird app migrators moving in and messing up their life home like an uninvited houseguest. Please allow us time to learn the rules and we’ll get on track. All the lovely souls (#Earpers ) I know coming over are super kind with huge hearts and will fit in just right here. Also, thank you all so much for all the tips to help us get situated. I’m a few days in and I’m really enjoying it here! 🥰

Here this is again! A guide for anyone #newhere because being #new is hard! If you're a #TwitterRefugee from the #TwitterMigration, I want to make your transition to Mastodon as easy as possible. ❤️

I'll share this once or twice a day for a little while, while the Twitter stuff continues. Then sporadically thereafter. Hopefully you don't get tired of seeing it, lol

The Tamagotchi was the coolest invention around the year that I first started to use the Internet. It was the most basic level of Internet usage, just using my dad’s giant desktop computer to poke…

Hey there, really really appreciate all the follows and recommendations 🙏

But, can you also tell new people about the site at https://fedi.tips too?

The site address is exactly the same as my username with a dot in the middle. You can make it clickable on here by having https:// at the beginning.

I'm very happy to help people directly on here, but it would help A LOT if you can tell people about the site too! Thank you!

More #MastodonTips: In addition to placing tags in your bio, you can actually feature tags on your profile page (click through to mine and scroll down for an example).

I wrote about this and how to do it a little while ago: https://finertech.com/2019/05/10/how-to-feature-hashtags-on-your-mastodon-profile/
