I'm waiting for the new users to say something here and welcome them 
@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(•_•)
@Sphinx I've seen that too. For me it took some time since I made some connections and started to figure out how things work here. I believe it's discouraging for many.
When I joined mastodon a few months ago I was greeted by @design_RG (even with a link to a Mastodon guide in Spanish) and that helped.
@miguel31416
Gracias por mencioarlo. És un placir terlo ahí conosco.
@design_RG
wait a sec. you can speak Spanish?^_^
@Sphinx He does. I think he's mixing some Portuguese there though XD
@design_RG
Yes, I am fluent in Portuguese and not so much in Español; there's this thing that we think we can get away with Portuguese words, so similar sometimes. Which word was the give away? Conosco ? (with us)
Con nosotros, claro!
@miguel31416 @Sphinx Which reminds me, I was going to suggest to Sphynx that maybe he could try out the Slowly pen pal application, we can make friends all over the world and it's great for language practice too.
Please consider it -- my own Spanish in writing really improved since I first started to correspond with Spanish speaking folks.
