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.

> 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!
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](https://muensterland.social/@rgx/104278768548989947).
Really helps finding connections with relevant people, as they can read more about ut in one single, highlighted spot.
