@weirdwriter Thank you! I do need help. Maybe too three basic tips that would be helpful to someone coming from Twitter and Bluesky?

weirdwriter OP ,

@Nicolaz Hmm. Best 2/3 tips, follow hashtags and groups, not people. use directories like the Trunk, and finally, it's okay to lerk and not reply despite what others tell you! My full guide is here with some apps/user directories, etc. Link at end.

The hashtags I'd recommend are below. My guide has directories to follow.

More stuff is below but My guide can be found at https://blindjournalist.wordpress.com/2022/05/01/mastodon-for-writers-and-readers/

hashtags I like.

hashtags are the best way to find new people in addition to the directories I outline in my guide, etc. Below, you can see some communities/groups I like and follow.

Groups I like/follow.
