@shaunstew sure, so my advice is:
- Follow a lot of people. If you see something cool boosted onto your TL, follow that user. You can unfollow later – there’s no algorithm watching your every move.
- Check out #introductions to look for interesting people. The Local TL is also good to browse.
- Answer questions about Mastodon when you see them.
- Be yourself. You’re coming to a new place, so consider taking that opportunity to be/come whoever you are, in an authentic and non-ironic way.
@ashfurrow Awesome advice, thank you sir! Hopefully I'll be interesting enough to get a follow from yourself! 😜
