Okay, since the bird is dying, lots more people are gonna come over.

Welcome #TwitterMigration! A few tips:

- introduce yourself with #introduction and pin it, and hashtag a few interests

- following from that, hashtags are very important here. Search won't show all results on every server and there's no algorithm so hashtags are how people find you and your posts

- #Mastodon and #MastodonHelp for help/tips

- PLEASE CW politics and drama and use image descriptions! Very important here.

Mental health issues are raising exponentially with young people.. Mastodon has build-in all kinds of features like blocking, muting filters etc and ‘non-features’ like constantly showing numbers everywhere on timelines, profiles etc.

Please know that #Mastodon is a safe place to talk about mental health. Talking about it can really help, we do not judge we only want to help♥️

If we can contribute even the slightest in battling this issue I say we should! Together!  

Really important thing you need to know about Mastodon: You don't need to use the official app!

There are some good third party apps listed on Mastodon's own site:

➡️ https://joinmastodon.org/apps

The third party apps have more features and had way more development time.

 Android users might want to start with Tusky and Fedilab

 iPhone/iPad users might want to read this: https://transponderings.blog/2022/05/21/eight-mastodon-apps-for-iphone/

Mastodon is an open platform, so third party apps can use its features fully.
