Hints & Suggestions

  • Fill out your profile with something - find a picture and say a little something about yourself! There are very, very many people in the fediverse who will not follow you back or potentially even interact with you if you haven't shown that you've taken a moment or two to put anything in your profile.
  • When you "favourite" someone's post, only the poster knows you did so.
  • Looking over the federated timeline ("Known Network") and searching for things of interest will help you find people to follow and interact with.
  • You are part of the federated networks, aka the Fediverse, which include Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, Akkoma, Pleroma, Peertube, Mobilizon, BookWyrm, Lemmy, WriteFreely and more. Mastodon is just the "Zoom" of the fediverse at the moment. Much like we don't refer to EMail as Hotmail, we don't refer to this platform as Mastodon.
