New people are joining Mastodon. Here is my #mastohelp:
1. Write a meaningful bio text — no one follows the unknown.
2. A profile photo of yourself is helpful — again, no one follows the unknown.
3. Start replying to other people's posts. Eventually you will get noticed.
4. If you get stuck, ask questions — people are really helpful here.
5. Follow at least 200, so you get an interesting feed.
6. Search hashtags of topics you like. If you like politics, try #eupol or #uspol.
Welcome! 🐘

²) One can follow hashtags, too.
³) It's not a tattoo. One can always unfollow (whatever) if (whatever) is not to one's liking.
