Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome -
@independentpen @FediTips Ooh... thank you!
@MelodicDinosaur @independentpen @FediTips
Welcome!
My advice: Step 1 is "follow 30 hashtags". There's no algorithm, so that's what gets your timeline started with things your care about.
There's lots of further advice and good further steps to take, but hashtags are really good starter seeds on Mastodon. Have fun!

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome. You appear to have chosen a really good instance to be your Mastodon home, so that's a great start.
Enjoy!

@TheBreadmonkey @MelodicDinosaur yes, but from very far away so you look quite small.

welcome, you'll find this a refreshing place & while (alike any public space) there are still some idiots, for the most part this is a civil & enjoyable place to be - conversations with those with whom you differ are always interesting, and in my experience civility has won out here.
Enjoy your new social media experience
