As a Canadian I notice more Europeans here than the old Brand X place but I get to choose who I see, not an algorithm so that takes some work. Following #hashtags helps to find people to follow.

@vcallinan well you could follow a few folk on Mastodon.Scot, less USA centric and curling is a thing.

@vcallinan Was it difficult to drop FB? Most FB friends don't follow you to Mastodon in my experience

@vcallinan @glasco61 I am afraid not. In this particular location there are both, forsythias and these. They have intense perfume, noticeable even at 10 meters or more.

I think its a golden currant but I'm open to being corrected. -

@vcallinan
Definitely *less* US-centric, but worth remembering that 3/4ths of native English speakers are in the US
There are plenty of non-English servers and users if that's your preference though

@vcallinan not American centric, except for Americans, who think everything is.

@vcallinan
Welcome. The centric bit depends on who you follow. And on avoiding hitting the "trending" link no matter how much you're tempted. -

@vcallinan #bloomscrolling and #FootpathFriday are a couple I use to forget the insanity in my country. Hashtags are so good here.

@vcallinan Had buckets of tomatoes one lucky year and another year we got about this much each week which was nothing to sneeze at either. Lucky to have lived places with amazing gardens kept by other people with passion fruit and all kinds of fruits and vegetables but now a modest garden plot with apricot and figs in large pots, black currants, peppermint (yeah hard to manage), strawberries, rhubarb, peppers, basil, and whatever other veggies we plant. I don't post a lot of garden stuff but hope you do find your gardening people. And no shortage of cats
Feel free to ask me (and most people) questions. Masto is a bit counterintuitive and just plain manual in places. One thing I suggest is looking at the local feed of mastodon.social, and on the local feed of any other instances that seem relevant, to find people to follow. All the best!
