Take a look at this post - it has some quick pointers for new users.

A nice one is to look for the FollowFriday hash tag; people do post suggestions on good accounts to follow.

I got invited to this social media platform from a friend...looks interesting! 😀 I'm just here to look for friends that share nerdy and geeky interests. I'm a huge nerd and geek and proud of it! 😀

New Mastodon Users Guide, now on Blog post 

@Curator Rheal, thank you for the work you put into creating this Guide.

I took the liberty to copy all of your toots into a Blog post, which is located here : write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggesti

I am still polishing it up, would like to make some image adjustments, but your guide is there in full.

Hope it will be useful to others - I am also using it and suggesting as a reading for new users at Qoto.org.

Thank you! 😃

"Review

“Read this book. You’ll find plenty about John and all the other sky-high crackpots who were in the field with him and you may even get (as I did) a glimpse of the heroic excitement that seemed to make it reasonable to cuddle with death every waking moment—to say nothing of learning a heck of a lot about the way in which the business of science is really conducted.”

(Issac Asimov)"

@design_RG

Yea im all for merging in glitch-soc features to qoto features. Though its a bit of a time investment I dont have lately. Perhaps we can get someone to submit a PR

I think we don't talk enough how good @freemo has done for this instance. The policy of not blocking almost everything, the word limits, the discussions we have here.... Everything is pretty good. I spent some time in another Instance. But frankly, QOTO seemed much more polished in almost every way. Atleast to me.

Another nice fediverse-enhancing habit that I enjoy is:

1) When you make a public post, use a hashtag.

2) Immediately click the hashtag.

3) Boost something cool and recent from that hashtag.

If for some reason the boost button doesn't work:

1) Right-click on the timestamp.

2) Click "copy link address" or similar.

3) Paste the URL into your Mastodon search box and press enter.

4) Boost.

This helps because everything you boost gets added to your own instance's federated timeline, and the federated timelines of everyone who follows you.

More importantly, it also adds those boosts to hashtag searches, making it easier for people to find posts about their interests using hashtag searches on their own instances.

Spreading the good stuff around the fediverse helps everything to interlink and keeps the timelines and Home feeds organically full, varied and busy.

Mastodon is prone to bubbles.

When you look for new people to follow you check the public timelines, which by design mostly contains people already followed by people on your instance. It's hard to break out of that.

Here's what you do.

1) Go to mastodon.social/tags/YourTagHe but change the last bit to a hashtag of your choosing.

2) Click boost on all the cool stuff.

Also, use hashtags in your own posts and boost cool stuff with gay abandon!
