#introductory post #new to mastodon

She/her

Hello all. I'm new to the fediverse. Had to bug out of the FB environment. I'm baking in a southern red state but dreaming blue. In the past was in the library world but now enjoying a more unstructured environment.

Thanks. Any advice for using and navigating this will be appreciated.

@Bluezcrab496 If you need some ideas on who to follow, check the "local" tab of your server, mastodon.social. ( https://mastodon.social/public/local )

Remember that following someone is not a permanent decision!

@Chip_Unicorn

Wonderful information. Had no idea of its existence.

@Bluezcrab496 Here's a good account to follow: @FediTips

That person gives a lot of posting tips and answers questions about how to use Mastodon.

And remember that you can follow hashtags. For example, if you click on #unicorn , you should see posts about both the horned-horse type of unicorn and the billion-dollar company type of unicorn.

Hey Bluezcrab, welcome!

As Chip Unicorn said, if you have any questions feel free to ask, I am an actual human being trying to provide tech support for this place

There's also lots of help for new people on the website at https://fedi.tips (especially the section marked "Quick Start" at the top).
