If you’ve just left Twitter/X or Bluesky, welcome! You’ve come to the right place.

There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.

Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.

If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.

One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:

People have added additional tips in the comments below which you may want to check out.

You should also follow @FediTips for more detailed advice.

Many of us (all?) are grieving the US election now so comedy is appreciated.

Please also read the post about filters, hashtags, content warnings, and alt text.

BTW, this post was inspired by @maxleibman 's post:
https://beige.party/@maxleibman/113454880301830066

It sounded like some people were giving the new influx of Twitter refugees a hard time so I thought I'd try to be more welcoming. We could all use some support right now.

I'm a trainer, and when people show up late to a training, I don't chastise them for being late. I let them know I'm grateful that they came at all.

Also, I was reminded of some nice features of Mastodon and the Fediverse thanks to an obnoxious post:
- Muting people (they can still interact but you won’t see them. This can also be set to temporary.)
- Blocking people
- Filtering out words and hashtags you don’t want to see. So if you like someone’s posts but you don’t want to see anything about hockey, it will hide those posts.

I hope that helps!

See, I knew I was going to forget a lot of people.
@tayfonay is also a good follow for a variety of engaging posts.

@MostlyHarmless
@xinicit and
@ReticentTurnip@universeodon.com are other good ones for comedy.

@MonotoneofBill is also good for comedy but specifically a rapid fire of puns daily.

@boby_biq and @OhOkKay engage a lot here.

I’m sorry to people I’ve left off!
