@soulforgotten Hi, I hope you enjoy your time here!
Following folks you find is THE ONLY algorthm on MASTODON.
ALL other social mediasystems throw 'similar' accounts at you (thats the process of manipulation 'similar' gets worse and worse)
Follow a hashtag by clicking on it, theres a button at the top of the new column.
Actively following is the Mastodon Algorithm
Follow @FediTips
@kevinrns @soulforgotten @FediTips But also the Explore section is an algorithm of popular posts. Use it to discover new folks! And click through reblogs to see if *those* people are a good follow.
@soulforgotten Welcome! You’ll like it here!
@soulforgotten
A great person to follow is @GottaLaff
She covers politics, Canada and US, from Canada. For everything else, there is @RickiTarr or there is @lisamelton
@flexghost has a #MastodonMusic party every Friday night.
@mizblueprint Thanks for that!
@soulforgotten @RickiTarr @lisamelton @flexghost
Hey @mizblueprint
Hey @GottaLaff
And welcome @soulforgotten
Go Bills! Watching my Joshy in the snow but Ill see you Friday for #MastodonMusic
@GottaLaff @RickiTarr @lisamelton @mizblueprint @soulforgotten You were busy during the confirmation hearings, great stuff!
I've limited my politics intake but I always head over to your feed regardless.
Everyone posts your stuff on my discord server, too
@flexghost Me? Wow! Thank you! @RickiTarr @lisamelton @mizblueprint @soulforgotten
@mizblueprint Thanks for including me in this list of awesome people!
@mizblueprint @GottaLaff @RickiTarr @lisamelton @flexghost Ermagawd, I should’ve jumped to Mastodon sooner. It’s refreshing and it’s awesome to meet new people. Plus a Friday music night sounds pretty sweet.
@soulforgotten You're on Vancouver Island? We just moved to Port Moody from Calif. @mizblueprint @RickiTarr @lisamelton @flexghost
@soulforgotten @mizblueprint @GottaLaff @RickiTarr @lisamelton @flexghost It’s almost a “nobody talks about fight club” thing. Lol!
@soulforgotten Welcome! Depending on the music/vibe you are interested in, I recommend @Defiance @buffyleigh @MetalheadDana and @deliberately_me as good follows.
Thank you! @friscolala
Welcome! @soulforgotten
Lots of good people here. In addition to @buffyleigh @MetalheadDana and @deliberately_me if you're really into metal you need to follow @jake4480
@soulforgotten Welcome. It’s not bad here, good folks, silliness, seriousness too. Follow @FediFollows and @FediTips plus some hashtags!
@FediTips that’s awesome, thank you. Because yeah…I’m going to have some questions as I navigate all of this.
Okay
By the way, there is also lots of help for beginners on the website at https://fedi.tips (especially the Quick Start section at the top).
@soulforgotten welcome! Great to have you on here! Quite a few folks from Vancouver Island on here. I was born there but mostly lived in Seattle area tho have family up there. I also don’t want Canada to be annexed.
@soulforgotten
What kind of prints?
@ohmu Taken up linocut printing and dabbled in screen prints as well. Honestly, just love to create when time allows.
@soulforgotten
Awesome!
I follow #linocut. There are a few others but that seems to be the most used hashtag.
There are many creators who post work to Mastodon.
@minouette posts a new linocut of women who contributed to science almost every day.
Please post a few of your prints when you get a minute.
@soulforgotten welcome, friend and fellow metalhead!
I wrote a guide on search that you might find useful:

Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Folks here are happy to help.
@soulforgotten also…
1. Follow @buffyleigh. She’s got all the goods on music.
2. I see a link in your bio. If you move that to one of your “extra fields,” and make sure it’s a full URL, people will be able to click on it.
@markwyner @soulforgotten Aww thanks, Mark, you're very kind!
