Um, hi, first post in the fediverse, kinda nervous. I'm Kaii (as in Kai with double i, not kali like the linux distro) and I'm a queer, autistic #vtuber from Poland.
I've been lurking for a couple days now, trying to figure out how all this works, but tbh I'm still not sure I get it
so any pointers for a fediverse noob would be appreciated ^^Also! Looking for moots, for that little bit of social-ness (?) on this social platform!
For the record: free Palestine, fuck ICE
@nightkaii croeso/welcome Kaii
-
@nightkaii we probably arenโt a good match follow-wise (Iโm not even sure I know what a vtuber is, Iโm that old) but I wanted to say welcome. Donโt be nervous - the Fedi is a lot of fun, tho it can take a bit to find the crowd you want. Best of luck to you!
@inarticulatequilter thank you, I appreciate the kind welcome ^^ and no worries, plus, I don't think it has anything to do with being "old", it's just a niche like any other. I don't know the first thing about quilting either and I'm only somewhat sure I even know what it is

@nightkaii @roknrol Welcome! As Iโm sure a billion other people will tell you, there is no algorithm to feed you so, you need to follow interesting people, post and boost. Search Hashtags for things you are interested in, follow to those hashtags. It WILL start slow in your transition but hang in there. Good luck and feel free to send questions to out to the fediverse. It will give answers!

@nightkaii Welcome, Kaii! I hope you find a lovely community here.
@stitchbystitchmaui thank you!!

@nightkaii Follow people hashtags and topics
I've followed you. Follow me and everyone else who follows you. Then look through who/what we follow and follow some more. The more people you follow the more you'll see. Then you can prune the number you're following. Don't worry about unfollowing people. Few of us care how many follow us. It's the people we follow that gives us a life on here.
But first, write an intro and pin it, with lots of #hashtags on what lights your fire.
@DziadekMick thank you so much for the advice, I really appreciate it! I was already considering making an intro post, but wasn't sure it wouldn't be too redundant with this one, so it's good to have reassurance I was on the right track

@nightkaii @DziadekMick
When you follow people there is an option to only follow their posts, but not what they boost. This is especially helpful if your time line starts to get a bit overwhelming with stuff that you are not that interested in.
On their profile page, once you have followed them, click on the three dots. This gives you a number of options, one of which is "hide boosts from". -

@nightkaii welcome! Don't worry, it will take time. Follow @FediTips for some good info.
Say what topics you are into and folks can suggest stuff, or search for some hashtags for topics that interest you.

As I think it still says in my bio, "I don't follow-back, I follow ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ."

@nightkaii Welcome!
We all have 3 feeds.
Home is all the people and hashtags you've followed.
Local is all the people on your same server. Since you're on the biggest server, that's like a firehose of connections.
World is all the people followed by all the people on your server-ish. There's probably a better description somewhere, but since your local is huge, you might not notice a big diff between your local and world feeds.
Anyone new to you who just posts in your DMs is likely a troll/bot/griefer.

Share as much as youโre comfortable with in your intro post. Quite a few will follow back automatically. Some will check you out before following and in my experience these are the more interesting folk. Fedi has a big neurodivergent community and quite a few trans folk. Also nerd central in many ways. Without an algorithm you have to seek and fetch contact. Start responding and itโll work.
Unless youโre weird. As in โwired differently.โ Such people as this abound. Anyway, welcome.

@nightkaii I LOLโd so hard at your delightful reply - you are going to fit right in to the Fediverse!

@nightkaii It might seem quiet here until you follow lots of folks. You can follow lots of #hashtags too.
And don't worry unfollow works as it should here too. -
