<![CDATA[The cycle of social media:]]>The cycle of social media:

Join a new platform

Have no idea how the feed works

Search for hashtags like a lost tourist

Pretend to understand what "Fediverse" actually means

Day 1 on Mastodon and I’m officially at Step 4. How’s everyone else holding up? 😂

What are you using to access Mastodon? Is it your server's website or is it a mobile app?

Mastodon is quirky. I love it. You already know that hashtags are important cuz no algorithms. Many useful features, quite some irritating things too! 😜 Take your time.

There are many things and features you may think you vaguely understand because they seem like on other present and past forums or social media.

It can be frustrating to know you only have part of the answers you seek. @FediTips

That whole tangle of interrelated platforms is the Fediverse.
