To my new followers: You will experience delays as both a new signup (email delays) & an existing user (slow service; inability to load images, etc). It will settle down. Patience will be required. Remember, Mastodon is run by volunteers. It's not corporate & is still in the process of upscaling.
People grumbling that #Mastodon is slow at the moment... You just turned up with 1 million people in a tiny, rural village and you're complaining there's a queue to get into the only tearoom, which is run by gay pensioners Babs & Maureen as a retirement hobby on Mons-Weds. Relax! #TwitterMigration
@lexicaleigh thank you Lexi, I must say it's taking some time to get used to this platform but I'll persevere! Any idea on how to post pictures? Can't seem to manage it yet - once I add a picture the 'publish' button greys out 🤔
