@mehanix welcome!

Welcome Nicoleta! There are lots of very interesting people here. You are responsible for finding your folks.

What I do is when someone posts something interesting, I tap on their avatar image left of their screen name at the top of their post and look at their profile page. If they seem like interesting people, I follow them. If someone turns out to be not who you thought, you can unfollow them later. Follow lots of people starting out.

@mehanix Hello! Greetings from Moldova! ~~my romanian sucks so I won't even try ~~
Depending on you, it could be really chill platform or very bustling. Following lots of interesting people and then muting or sorting them is way to manage how engaged you wish your home feed to be.

Saw you discussing about horror games... I watched some play throughs but scared to play them... Have House and Count Lucanor to play someday...
Had discussion about Stardew valley and someone mentioned a psychological horror one which also notably has visual work done from Celeste. Game is called Neverway and has demo for now and release by the end of the year.

There a lot of game diversity in my life mostly lots of different indies, but my hot topic is Arknights. Wanted something on phone with catgirls, came for catgirls stayed because of good gameplay and store and lore building.

Have fun and enjoy Fediverse .

@mehanix welcome to the fediverse. A disparate bunch of people from around the world, sharing their interests and knowledge in a, most of the time, friendly collegial manner.
