@nomdeb @honeymango Ahhh thank you so much! that is so lovely. Excited about being somewhere new - a bit like traveling haha. will follow you if i haven't already :)
@honeymango thanks hopefully now people can see i'm real and not made of bits and bytes #joke
@Humeera A while back I was encouraging my friend Humeera to join #Mastodon and asked for a single boost so I could demo - and I got 100โ€™s!
Well sheโ€™s joined properly now with profile, pic and an #introduction ! Please consider giving her a follow ๐Ÿ˜

The number of active Mastodon users โ€” those who've logged in in the last 30 days โ€” has fallen to 1.8 million from a high of 2.6 million. This reflects the fact that while there's a wave of new users after each Musk tantrum, the majority aren't sticking around. Even the 1.8M figure is inflated by new accounts, so I expect a further drop.

Still, the number of active users is over 4 times what it used to be before the Twitter takeover.

@honeymango @Humeera I'll help by showing how the community engages in interesting and sometimes constructive ways!
It's the first week back after the holidays and I'm more aware than ever that I miss being in the office and seeing people. Two years of the pandemic and now a recession - it's so easy to be reclusive. So here are my top tips to self. 1/ Reach out to someone new to set up a coffee chat and network. 2/Start or maintain a hobby where I meet new people and 3/Volunteer to keep the humility and remind myself that I can help bring a smile to someone. #happiness #isolation #positiveoutlook
@honeymango wow that is so cool.... still learning the functionality here
@[email protected] @honeymango thank you - so nice to feel welcome here ๐Ÿ˜ž

Hi everyone!

So i'm told the best way to get started here is to do an introduction. My name is Humeera and while I'm originally from the UK, I now live in Southern California and work in tech marketing (social impact/sustainability/brand reputation).

I am an avid traveller - I've backpacked around the world twice (that doesn't mean I've seen everything) but it does mean I'm lucky, love people, cultures, food and adventure.

Look forward to connecting and making friends! #introduction
