So. This will be my first mastodon post.

Whatever else I do, this will always be at the top of my timeline. However things change.

I should probably make it somehow interesting, or timelessly relevant.

But there is such a thing as overthinking things. A poor first post is very ignorable, and I don't want analysis paralysis to prevent me from ever posting anything at all.

So... overthought first post done, I guess.

Welcome to Qoto and the Fediverse. 😃

The posts here will show in reverse chronological order in your profile -- the most recent ones always at the top.

You can have up to 5 'Pinned posts' - which you select at will; important ones you would like people to see first when visiting.

So there's lots of opportunities for craking that awesome post; the pinned ones on my profile had been there for a long time, and I still like them.

Enjoy your stay. We have some good user guides that can be suggested here if you like; just let me know.

Yeah... I only realised after I'd typed that out that the timeline goes in _reverse_ chronological order, and not in chronological order. Makes a lot more sense that way, too. And thanks for the welcome!

The pinned posts point is also good. That means I can take my time, figure out the perfect introductory post, and then pin it at my leisure!

...

...I doubt I'll hurry too much about it.

Yes, that is always possible. Plus it can be edited and a new version created any time you want.

Pinned posts are great. I don't keep an 'Introductions' post here at Qoto, but [do have it at another couple of accounts in other instances](muensterland.social/@rgx/10427).

Really helps finding connections with relevant people, as they can read more about ut in one single, highlighted spot.
