Gotta say it's pretty impressive that #Forkiverse already has 1,200 members.

Love all this! I would add if you don't want to do alt text you can add #AltTextForYou hashtag and somebody else will do it. It's a lot to get used to if you're coming from a place of never having done it before. But if you are, you made it to a safe space, reemphasising point 4, use it as you like. Don't sweat the small stuff, you'll get it.
@GracelessHippo @APBBlue The one you want is #Alt4Me (the other is people responding with alt text, I don't know if anyone follows it to provide it)

My advice to newcomers:
1. Follow a lot of accounts. There's no algorithm here, so it takes a little work to make sure you have a lively feed.
2. Check and follow #hashtags of interest. It's a great way to find good accounts to follow!
3. Be sure to add alt-text to your photos and videos. We take accessibility seriously here, and your blind followers will appreciate it.
4. Enjoy! We're glad you're here!
@APBBlue the other advice I would give it start by following accounts that boost a lot (if what thy boost is of interest to you)
And then when they do boost something interesting - look at the account they boosted. If you like it, follow that account.
Over time this is how I’ve found a ton of great accounts to follow and engage with

@Rycaut Yes, good advice!

@woo @APBBlue it doesn’t matter. Seriously.
The point of my advice however is for newer users - finding someone who boosts a lot likely means you get exposure to a bunch of people (if the person boosts lots of people’s posts not just only from one or two sources)
A similar approach is if you find a hashtag that interests you - following accounts that you see making good posts there is a good way to find accounts to follow.
But this is t about a score or a social media strategy
