My best friend of 18 yrs, Jack, passed away 2 months ago. Then this little was wandering into the street in front of me and I saved her. I was not (am not) ready for a new pup, but can't find her people or a new home, so here she is. I called her "puppy" for so long that she thought it was her name. So I changed it to Poppy. And here she is. The only thing wrong with her is that she isn't him.
My Fediverse Advice:
* Follow more people. No, even more people than that. Basically, if you find a real person and their posts are good follow 'em
* If you get a good reply to a post boost it. If you make a good reply to a post boost it. Replies are not visible in the feed unless you do this. As long as the post is an OK start to a conversation or interesting boost it.
* Write thoughtful replies. And if you put effort into a reply boost it or probably only the people tagged will see it.
