Hello world! Posting my first... toot? on this new account -- I'd heard about Mastodon in passing quite a while ago, but only recently decided to look at it in more detail, and am really liking it so far -- the idea of a decentralized social network built on open source software is super intriguing to me. Looking forward to browsing on here more, and probably posting about game development and programming related things :)
@devharts Hello Sarah, and welcome to Qoto.
Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235
We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator
An official JoinMastodon.org "What is Mastodon ?" short video is here : https://youtu.be/IPSbNdBmWKE
@devharts You are very welcome, Sarah. And I am glad you found the guides useful - the first one is the one I found on a search and used when I first joined mastodon, in November, last year. An excellent guide, I re-read it the other day and still find it one of the best I have seen.
Any questions, feel free to ask! 😃
@design_RG Thanks for the warm welcome! Yep I'm super new to Mastodon, to the point where beginners guides are still helpful and informative haha. Thanks for sharing these :)
