Go to the #introduction #newbie #newbies #newhere and #firstpost tags and follow some people.

Remember to be nice. It's a rough internet out there, and people need a #hug.

Salut les copaines!
J’espère qu’on s’amusera autant sur Mastodon que cette salamandre qui fait de la chute libre en soufflerie ♡

Hello friends!
I hope that we will have as much fun in Mastodon as this wandering salamander gliding in the wind tunnel ♡

Tipp für #newbies hier im Fediverse:
Bitte schreibt ALT-Texte in die Bilder, die ihr zeigt, für sehbehinderte Menschen.
Es gibt im Fediverse einfache Möglichkeiten, das zu tun, das seht ihr, wenn ihr ein Bild hochladet.

Wenn ihr Texte aus Bildern herauskopieren wollt zu diesem Zweck, das geht recht einfach mit diesem kostenlosen online Tool:

I'm usually a little particular about people I follow.. not terribly but I usually don't follow empty profiles etc..

However for the short term if you've got a decent profile with no posts and very few followers, under the current circumstances I'll probably follow you back.

In meinen Timelines haben inzwischen so viele Menschen mitgeteilt, dass sie Mitglied bei BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN werden wollen, dass man daraus fast schon eine Art virtuellen Ortsverband basteln könnte. #Parteieintritt #BÜNDNIS90DIEGRÜNEN #DIEGRÜNEN #Newbies

Nun sind alle, die heute schon angereist sind, perfekt für morgen - unseren Barcamp-Tag - vorbereitet: Newbie-Session mit Noreen und André für alle Neulinge im Barcamp-Universum.

This place doesn't need starter packs.

It needs gang hangs!
