@FediTips So, say if I go here and follow the link to one of the @'s, it takes me to a new window where I'm not logged in:https://fedi.directory/tag/fediverse-groups/

@FediTips @ShaulaEvans AHHH grand so home pools "people you follow" and "hashtags you follow" in the same place? Perfect, I get it! THANK YOU BOTH!

@FediTips hi there! I couldn't find this on the feditips sight...how do I stay logged in when I open a new tab? I've been trying to find things to follow and whenver I follow a link, it logs me out. Any tips gratefully received!

@ShaulaEvans @FediTips Thanks pal! I think I'll figure it out eventually!

@8bit_PK @FediTips Oh and also: I'm seeing stuff in my home feed from ppl I don't follow, how do I stop that? (THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE) xxx

@slowe actually yes! Can you recommend hashtags to follow for if I want to talk about publishing, children's books, comics for kids, reading for pleasure/national year of reading...? I've tried the "on the nose" ones and there's nowt. But also other interesting hashtags that have lots of activity and chat esp NON US stuff in english (cos everything everyehwere is so US dominated).

@slowe Aww lovely!! Trying to work this place out again - I got so confused last time I tried.

@8bit_PK Hello Paul! I came a few years ago, got very confused, left, so gonna try again. I follow people already - can you help an eejit out and say where they'd appear?

Just remembered I have an account here after someone posted a mastodon thing on bluesky. Do I know how to use it? No. Do I know where to start? Also, no.
