I always see people asking what the best Mastodon app is and I think Iโ€™m finally realizing that itโ€™s the web app that I like best.
Just a friendly reminder (to anyone who might stumble on this) to be sure to check your mastodon profile (wherever you may reside) and be sure you have 2FA enabled.

@fuzzy You can choose another server and move your account over.
@jr @bbdd333 This is great to know, thanks!

So you're just getting started in Mastodon huh?

Here's a neat thing. On the web interface you can search for a Hashtag.

Same as you can on Twitter.

Something like #Ukraine, for example

But on the search results, see that little user icon on the right? Click it and you'll follow it as if it's a user!

New posts with that tag will arrive in your home page, even if you don't follow the author yet
