@freemo @kosame Yuo will see posts by other users in a thread discussion, and maybe get interested in their posts; visiting their profile is the next step for me.
We also see a lot of new people via Boosts in our Home feeds. Your followed accounts posts, as well as any boosts they create, will show up there.
I do miss a more formal, focused, Forum like structure, but here it is the way it is.
We will have Bookmarks in upcoming versions of Mastodon, some forked modded versions already have them (Glitchsoc being a particularly interesting one.)
@sky Hello Sky, 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
Any question, just ask, and someone will try and help out.
Have a good day!

Google used to allow their employees (maybe not contractors, but their full time staff) to reserve a percentage of their time for individually selected research projects. That was an interesting programme.
Then they became open capital, watched and with pressure from big shareholders, and it's been downhill from there.

Just listen. Beautiful.

I like and relate closely with your opening thoughts in the OP.
Very humbling indeed.

Good morning! 😄
I am glad you have been reading and enjoying the guides, I love reading and am still looking for more information, all the time.
You mentioned Fedilab, I did a series of posts describing my testing and experience with it, found it was a nice client.
Better yet, thanks to the awesome FULL Text search we enjoy here at QOTO (and is NOT for granted, sadly missed in other instances), I could very quickly retrieve the link to my thread - it's here:
https://qoto.org/web/statuses/103150545437071079
Explaining the full text search - a life saver, if you remember a couple of unique words from your post. Just enter them, in my case "fedilab lite" and I got a fast results screen.
A nice tip some people use is to leave personal hashtags in threads they think importante. Karl uses a cute one, #bookmarx , lol. A play on his username which is a conservative version of Karl Marx.
Why Fedilab Lite ? If there's a Lite version I usually go for it. FB Messenger and app, Spotify, all these are available in Lite, smaller and faster probably.
The thread has an evaluation and direct link to the F-Droid site, a good place to find open source and well made software for android phones.
Better Bookmarks will come - it's already present in some modified, forked versions of Mastodon. I use another instance that runs GlitchSoc, and it's a nice system. They already have bookmarks, Local instance only posting (which does not federate at all -- a great idea imo). and other enhancements.
Glitchsoc is the leading edge in Masto development, imo. But Gargron is aware and incorporating some of their ideas and innovations as his work progresses.
One possible way to keep track of things - for me, using a laptop or desktop mostly. Copy links to threads and keep on a text editor for reference.
Like I do with a standard welcome message for new users, including a pointer to the Lifehackers mastodon guide. Very handy, and appreciated by the recipients, I think.
Uhmm, the coffee already kicked in pretty good, as you surely noticed, lol...
On to more reading, have a good one, friends.
@SecondJon Thank you for the post, those are important indicators. I have been expecting a slow down which has already affected many of the world economies.

@lakshya_click Very nice fotos, Lakshya! Thank you for the post, and welcome to Qoto.
Hope you enjoy your stay here.

A nice set of guidelines and tips for new Users
I have just made a new Discourse Forum post here at Qoto.org, reproducing the full text of the "New Users Suggestions and Guidelines" as prepared by Rheal, the administrator at Mastodon.art.
The page is located here: https://discourse.qoto.org/t/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator/119
And I hope it will be used to all of our new users here at QOTO, as well as anyone interested.
Thank you to @Curator for the nice work and for running what seems a happy and prosperous instance! 🌇

@mngrif Chardonelle being?
Just opened a new bottle tonight for dinner. A cup with food is nice for savouring both wine and the food.
Spinelli, Montepulziano D'Abruzzo vines. Decent red table wine.

Por nada! I have been working on that experiment we discussed the other day, the dried herb mixed with olive oil. Left some out finely minced, let it air dry for a couple of days. Still not mixed with the olive oil, which I plan to lightly heat, to increase extraction.
Then degust and see results. 😋
@ppmanik They are mixed, not any particular breed. Some might have traces similar to these pure breeds, I had one that was a little stray when we adopted him, and looked a lot like a smaller sized Maine Coon.
A nice set of guidelines and tips for new Users
In that same thread, I came across a post by a user, saying they have made a Guide for Mastodon new users in Spanish.
Rare to have resources in languages other than English, so this is a useful resource too.

A post I just found, by the administrator of the Mastodon.art instance - @Curator
Keeping a pointer here to help, I am thinking of collecting these in a Discourse Forum post here at QOTO, with attribution and credit to the author.
Reason? Easier to read, in one page, than a sequence of toots.
There are some good suggestions from their users below. 👍

@salad_bar_breath Nice work. 😋 🍽️
