,
Motto: #BeEXCELLENTtoEachOther!
I joined on 8th November, 2022...and in these two weeks, it has been such a beautiful experience for me. I hope it'll be for you too.

Now that you're here, understand that this is a #community.
It's time for your Bio (including hobbies/interests, etc), then your "introduction" toot (use the word and "#", in front of the word like this #Introduction.)
Use #Hashtag/#Hashtags w/ keywords/interests/hobbies, to make them searchable.
#Boosts and #Hashtags are how we connect/get seen.
#Boost, boost, BOOST!
