To all new users: Welcome to the Fediverse. Enjoy the ride, be polite and all that. Just have fun. This ain't too different from Twitter features-wise, so it should be pretty easy to pick up.

Don't forget to set your profile text and picture so that you're your unique self. And remember, interaction is the easiest way to gain friends.

The Federated Timeline can be quite a busy place. You can mute people and whole instances when you think you don't like their content. Don't get agitated, just filter them out this way.

Don't forget to set your language preferences in the settings so that you might see less foreign languages that you can't understand coming from foreign instances.

And lastly, remember.. this ain't Twitter.
