@FediTips I follow the #Introduction and #Introductions tags and I am not seeing a lot of folks post there. Is there a FediTip to go out about those 2 tags? I'd love to find these new people. Are they using this new fork tag I can't spell?

Yes! I mention that in the "which app to use" guide

@WeirdWriter

I've included it in the guide to making accounts more discoverable, and yes indeed this is something new people may find useful to do!
