Dear New Followers: over the next few days I will boost each and every one of your #introduction posts, if you do post them and pin them to your profile.

Introduction posts are important on fedi. Please also consider setting your profile pics!

This is my way of supporting good practices on one hand, and giving some much-needed visibility to new fedifriends who are just now joining.
