Welcome Yoodle

If you want help discovering people to follow, there's a guide here all about it: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-find-accounts-to-follow-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-how-do-i-find-my-friends

If you want help using this place feel free to ask, and there's also lots of help for new people on the website at https://fedi.tips

@FediTips i didn’t realize this account actually responded to people and stuff. I feel star struck. Thanks for the info!

@chimpchomp

That's the idea of my account, I try to provide unofficial tech support on here

(And yes I am a human being typing this.)

Heylo I’m new to Mastodon. I really like the idea of the fediverse as a way to assert our digital sovereignty , so I joined Mastodon thought I’d try it out.

I’ve lived in Winnipeg MB for a bit now, and while I don’t dislike the Jets I must admit that my heart is with the Oilers.

If anyone knows some good people to follow to get an indepth analysis of any given nerdy subject, then please let me know. Those people would be fun to follow.

Welcome @chimpchomp!

I see you’re already in contact with feditips. Suggest you check out their https://fedi.directory/ for some accounts and hashtags to follow.

Some cool things to know in response to your introductory post:

- hashtags such as CdnPoli, CanPoli, MBPoli, Canada, and Manitoba will fill your feed with lots of domestic content

- as you can see from my profile, there are a fair number of us who are enthusiastic about different entertainment fandoms, if there’s one you like, following the hashtag and seeing who you find interesting to follow is a way to start

- there are regular watch parties for diverse television shows and movie genres — most of which are set up to take advantage of free streaming options — such as #AllStarTrek, #Monsterdon etc.

— if someone or a group are posting a lot, you can mute them for a brief period using the browser view (that has more options than the apps)

— if someone you find interesting to follow is like me and boosts a lot, and you don’t want to see all those boosts, you can filter those out and just get their original posts and replies.

@chimpchomp Welcome from Ontario!

@adelinej Hello and thank you! I just looked at your profile and see that theres a lot of french there. Es-tu franço-ontarian?

@chimpchomp For astronomy, you'd want to follow @sundogplanets who lives in Saskatchewan.

@chimpchomp Oui! J’ai hésité à t’écrire en français, car je sais qu’il y a des francophones aussi au Manitoba!

@jeridansky @sundogplanets that is a very cool account. Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

@adelinej ouais! Il y a bcp des françophones en Manitoba, et surtout à Winnipeg (St. Boniface area). Ce n’est pas ma langue maternelle mais j’essaie d’apprendre donc j’aime écrire en français

@chimpchomp Pourquoi tu apprends le français? (Je suis curieuse vu mon emploi)
