#Thread with a Few Pointers about the #Fediverse/#Mastodon

Hi #TwitterRefugees/any other #newbie ,

#Welcome!

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.

Please take a moment to learn about this Fediverse #community, and the #Etiquette that makes the experience here very different from #Twitter - in a very good way.
Please use them.

Like any new thing we do, there's a learning period/curve. Again, this community can continue to be beautiful, if we learn and respect its rules...

To help be #EXCELLENT to each other, please use the #CW/#ContentWarning feature. A simple CW on #toots (the *tweet* equivalent in the Fediverse), lets peeps decide if to read or not...

Here is a guide

Why we *should* use #CW/#ContentWarning in #toot/#toots, put simply

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!
