Hi, the Mastodons.

@autisticplushy Hiyaaaa

(Phases in time-traveler style)
Damn. The lichen people got to her first.
(It's either lichen, cats or sourdough around here. Pick your tribe.)But seriously, welcome on board - great choice of server, you won't get flooded with shit on there!
My unasked-for advice - if you find that you've followed someone who floods your timeline you don't have to unfollow or mute them - you can also just turn their boosts off (if that's the problem) or if it's more a verbal diarrhoea thing put them in a list of their own.
Have fun. And stay away from the lichen freaks.
@Hedgewizard Oop! A friendly Hedgewizard. Hello!
I hope you'll forgive my asking such a purrsonal question - you're a very handsome cat, but are you a familiar or representative of the wizard or are you the wizard himself?
I'd rather not have to choose a tribe but it'd better not be sourdough because I tried one once and forgot about it and then it just got smelly and I threw it away so I'm afraid the little yeasts that live in the air will gang up on me if I ever try it again.
As for lichen vs. cats, I'll have to think carefully about this. I do like my new lichen friends but I don't want to end up embroiled in gang warfare. I'll have to seek specialist advice.

Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there
Welcome

@bardmoss Thank you. That'd sure be a relief - and it'll be good to make some new friends.
@MelodicDinosaur
I am an older autistic gentleman who is getting sick and tired of being older. But I don't bite. There are some instances which are only for autistics, such as the one I'm on, autistics.life. also depending on how accepting of different kinds of people you are, there are lots of good people on beige.party.
I am peripherally a member of the Bodhi Linux team. I don't know what I'm talking about most of the time, but I try to be helpful. -

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome! Never feel bad about being selective about who you follor or who you decide to let follow you. Browse around a bit, engage with others, and you'll find 'your people' soon enough.

@saxifraga Thanks, Sax
P.S. So happy about Gorton and Denton
@MelodicDinosaur @saxifraga we all are. I'm hoping it's the start of something really good.

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome to Mastodon. I find it very nice here. I'm also learning heaps while linuxing along. We had a four-day down and then figured it out. As I said, heaps, hahahaha!

@TheBreadmonkey @greem Yoohoo!
@MelodicDinosaur @TheBreadmonkey @greem
Ben! Take that "ooh, fresh meat" glint out of your eyes and remember you're vegan.
What did we tell you? Only Swedes and Human Beans.

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome to the fediverse. You can find your people using hashtags. Hashtags are free.

@MelodicDinosaur This is such a charming introduction. No wonder you have a tonne of responses!
I jumped into say that if you post #Linux, you'll get loads of people who want to talk about how to use it. I make sure not to only use it as tech support, but it can be light tech support.

@MelodicDinosaur Also, I hope you know you can follow hashtags! If you search for #Linux, you'll get an option to follow it, and that's a great way to meet people with common interests. There are loads of neurodiverse people on here including autistic, ADHD (hi!), and AuDHD like you.

@sar @MelodicDinosaur Well I feel seen.

Welcome to Mastodon.Right off the bat some things to understand... No one cares about your follow:follower ratio here, no one cares about your post count, etc. There is no algorithm to feed you content here, instead you make your timeline by following people, hashtags and groups that interest you.
Next, I suggest following @FediTips to get more pointers / guidance on using the #fediverse, of which Mastodon is only a part.
