@Sphinx You can also post a welcoming post without a name inserted.
Make it nice writing, include a nice and relevant image. Repeat once a week or so, changing the message and image.
In personal welcome messages to new users, I always like to include a couple of Mastodon Guide links -- most new people need that, the Fediverse is VAST and Mastodon itself is full of controls and settings, privacy levels, Federation, etc.
Guide is definitely NEEDED.
@design_RG
Good advice,
I feel like there is more serious problem or phenomenon is they got their account post a hi to everyone message and never come back(•_•)
