If you're #NewHere on Mastodon and you're a soccer/football fan, I recommend following a number of hashtags, most notably, #FediFC and #mastodonfc
Following hashtags is a great way to meet like-minded people. If you follow a particular hashtag, anyone who uses it will show up in your home feed, whether you follow them or not.
Took me a little while to get my bearings on this platform, but I love it here. I hope you will too.
