If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter
@godlessmom i'm still just thoroghly confused, though.
If you’re still thoroughly confused, I’d highly recommend following @feditips — and perusing their website. Helps to give you a quick start guide to this environment. I found them super helpful when I was getting started here. I’m happy to help too — I think most of us are!
@KimberlyN @feditips thank you!
Hey there, thanks for the mention :)
If you're feeling totally lost on here, I'd recommend watching this video: https://tilvids.com/w/wx2iLhD3pTipbKFJKLyx5t
I've got a website for beginners at https://fedi.tips and if there's something specific you want help with just ask.
@godlessmom Also, joining masto did not magically heal my typo problem.
@bearofroses haha me neither! Stick with it, the confusion subsides and it’s so great.
