@kissane thank you for all the information. I’m new here and trying to get my feet so this is helpful.
I was just telling my husband tonight how I love the feature which recommends adding descriptions to your pictures.
I’m looking forward to settling in.
With each new surge of Mastodon users, I feel the need to point out:
1. Welcome!
2. There is a learning curve here, but most people find it short and not very steep. Play around, explore. You'll get it.
3. Lots of people are willing to help.
4. Yes, it's different than Twitter. Sometimes in good ways, sometimes not. But you'll figure it out.
5. With surges especially, things sometimes get slow/glitchy, but they usually get fixed pretty quick.
Be patient.
