<![CDATA[Heylo I’m new to Mastodon.]]>Heylo I’m new to Mastodon. I really like the idea of the fediverse as a way to assert our digital sovereignty 🇨🇦, so I joined Mastodon thought I’d try it out.

I’ve lived in Winnipeg MB for a bit now, and while I don’t dislike the Jets I must admit that my heart is with the Oilers.

If anyone knows some good people to follow to get an indepth analysis of any given nerdy subject, then please let me know. Those people would be fun to follow.

The best way to start is not to look for individual people to follow, but instead, follow hashtags you're interested in and have fun with the posts you find - like, retoot, and above all comment, get into discussions.

Over time, you may also find individual people worth following, and some people will start following you as they notice you.

@ShaulaEvans and @surdfish are two cheeky examples I think you'll probably enjoy, and plenty more cool people oot and aboot too I'd say.

To be honest I just like the Oilers because they always make the post season. That makes me a bandwagoner, probably, but bandwagoners have the most fun

And thank you!

Welcome to the Fediverse! As a Winnipegger I will have to disagree with you on the Oilers/Jets debate. Either way I hope you enjoy your time here.
