#newtomastodon — Public Fediverse posts

If you're new to #mastodon and on a smaller instance, profiles that you find might seem kind of empty. Your instance hasn't seen their feed yet because no one on your server follows them!

You can see their full profile pretty easily so that you can decide if you want to follow them and start bringing their posts to your instance.

When you're viewing their profile on their server, clicking on "Follow" will prompt you for your home server.

Are self-reposts a common thing on Mastodon like they are on Bluesky? Or are they not appreciated as much?

#meta #FediQuestion #NewToMastodon

Hello all. I’m Grey (she/her, 40+). Wife, mother, writer, gamer and introvert. Currently obsessed with all things Hellaverse: especially Alastor, RadioStatic, AppleMedia and RadioApple. I’m also into World of Warcraft, Sims 4 and Disney Dreamlight Valley. I’ve been a writer for 28 years and a roleplayer for 19 of those years. New to Mastodon but I’m a tumblr veteran. Looking forward to being here! #firstpost #introduction #newtomastodon

First time posting here. I have to be honest, I'm still a little bit confused about how different fediverse platforms do and don't connect to each other - and whether it makes sense to try to do everything with just one account on one platform, or to have separate accounts on all of them.. but I'm happy to be here nonetheless. Now I have to figure out who and what to follow!

We're glad to having you here! :fediverso:

INTRODUCTION: I've been challenged to do an introduction. Just started on Mastodon and working towards freeing myself from US Tech.

I myself is retired from IT through 25 years. My interests include living a good and peaceful life with my family and friends, bicycling and playing my guitars to improve myself.

Mastodon, Tag 1.
So aufgeräumt und angenehm unaufgeregt hier. Fühlt sich an, als hätte ich gerade ein frisches Malen-nach-Zahlen ausgepackt.

Yesterday i posted a question regarding how people find their instance

It gathered a lot of responses which thought me a lot and i thought i might summarize it here (now that ive ((almost)) moved)

I heard 2 different ways of using madtodon. Stay in a big server and mold it to your liking on your own. Mainly using lists and the following feed only

and the other was to take your time and move a bunch often starting in a large server and ending in a smaller instance. Most of these people found their instances organically, through friends, irl acquaintances, specific focussed interests, looking at their following list or just trial and error.

My own takeaway is that i like having a local timeline for discovery aswell, so i prefer smaller servers. Giving me another experience than the main “all” timeline.

But i think most of all just ask people. The response i got to that question was really crazy to me, especially since i had no mutuals from other places that moved here. I wasnt involved in big online spaces.
Just using a hashtag (i used #askfedi) brought my post in front of a bunch of people that the brought it in front of others and i got to hear a lot of different people give me their tips abd perspectives

oh and also this article was really helpful :3

Hi, I'm P.J. I write science fiction, dissociative & psychological horror, creative nonfiction, and poetry. I've been published under the name Kael Knoxton Martin (Celestite Poetry, Querencia Press) & Lex Lizbeth Martin (Rattle).

Outside of writing, I love doodling, cooking, and making video games.

Nice to meet you!

Hey Mastodon! 👋

We’re Nine Lives Game Studio, a tiny indie team from Karlstad, Sweden. It’s just us, a lot of caffeine, and a shared love for quirky games and cats. 🐱 We’re here to share what we’re up to, learn from others, and hopefully make some new friends along the way.

We’re excited to be here! If you’ve got any cool game dev tips, fun projects, or cat pics to share, hit us up. 😊

Je vais mettre ça dans #NewToMastodon même si je ne suis pas si new.

J'ai un jour créé mon compte sur mastodon.social, je voulais me laisser le temps d'explorer les différentes #instances.

Je ne sais toujours pas sur laquelle aller, mais j'aimerais me décider dans les semaines qui viennent. Connaissez-vous de bonnes ressources sur la migration, c'est pas encore très clair pour moi 🙏

Jumped ship after the theatrics and still trying to figure things out. Mastodon, let’s vibe. #TikTokRefugee #NewToMastodon #millennialprofessional #Excelnerd #bostonsports #northernexpatinthesouth #crystalsandcandles #findyourflock #fediverselife

@horqua @Christhewriter I suggest using Hashtags-for example-when I post about the NY Mets, I put as many Mets hashtags as I can-not that it will guarantee followers-but it will improve visibility. Also, based on your App-you can also follow hashtags, and hence will see others posts on that topic, if they use that hashtag. This will introduce you to other people too. Good luck-and welcome to the platform-it takes time to find your “tribe”. Be patient-and I don’t have a bazillion followers either-
