One thing that Mastodon newcomers may not realize is how easy it is to turn Mastodon for web into essentially a Tweetdeck clone, with columns for search/compose, home, notifications, and any lists you've set up. It takes literally seconds.

So a lot of new folks here 🎉 WELCOME

I arrived 6 weeks ago. A few things I learned:

1️⃣ use movetodon.org to find all your 🐦 friends here
2️⃣ make an #introduction post, pin it to yr profile, share other folks' intro's if they look interesting
3️⃣ follow @feditips and @mastodonmigration for tips
4️⃣ boost if you think others should see it, a ⭐ does not help, no algorithm here
5️⃣ also follow new folks, don't just re-create 🐦 bubble 🗯️
