First post! #introduction

Hi everyone, I’m trying to make the leap from corporate-owned social platforms over to the #fediverse and #mastodon . I’m excited to be here, and would appreciate any tips to help me wrap my head around this. Thank you! #newhere

HI! I'm an author and illustrator, living in Dublin, searching for other worlds and new ways to connect. If you have any recommendations for hashtags or servers about literature and art, I'd love to hear them!

Vorstellungsrunde! #neuhier ist mit mir auch Bounty, meine 14 Jahre alte Mischlingshündin. Sie war mein erster Hund und hat mich Geduld gelehrt. Das macht sie jetzt, wo sie in die Jahre gekommen ist, wieder. Wie langsam kann man spazieren gehen? Wie lange kann man an einer Stelle riechen? Bounty sagt: Ja! :D Aber ich bin dankbar, dass sie noch da ist. Vor wenigen Wochen wurde ihr die Milz entfernt. Es war ein riesiges Hämatom, fast so groß wie ein Fußball und 3 kg schwer. Das hätte jederzeit platzen können. Zum Glück haben wir es rechtzeitig bemerkt. Und so genießen wir jetzt die Zeit, die wir noch haben. Und machen die 15 dieses Jahr voll.

Introduction round! Bounty, my 14 year old mixed breed dog, is also #newhere with me. She was my first dog and taught me patience. Now that she's getting on in years, she's doing it again. How slow can you go for a walk? How long can you smell one spot? Bounty says: Yes! :D But I'm grateful that she's still here. She had her spleen removed a few weeks ago. It was a huge hematoma, almost as big as a soccer ball and weighing 3 kg. It could have burst at any time. Fortunately, we noticed it in time. So now we're enjoying the time we have left. And make it to 15 this year.

Hallo bin Pat und #neuhier #newhere

Yes! The hashtag #Introduction is for exactly this, and a lot of people also use the tag #NewHere

You can use and follow both if you want 🙂

Also, feel free to ask if you want help using this place, and there is lots of help for new people on the website at https://fedi.tips (especially Quick Start at the top of the page).

#GlobalSwitchDay is over and I say hello and welcome to all the #newhere on #Mastodon and #Pixelfed or all the other Federations verse services. But everyday can be a switchday because to many are still on #facebook, #Instagram, #x, #Threads, #Whatsapp and #Bluesky
Btw. did you see the #Kickstarter Campaign for Pixelfed and #Loops? Every Dollar counts and make the #Fediverse better. Check it out.

Today is #followFriday and #freeToolFriday

I thank to everyone I follow and get exciting information and of course everyone who follows me on the Fediverse and all who are #newHere 👋

If you want a #post / #toot to be viewed by many, #share / #boost it so that more people can see it

In the #Fediverse, we humans have the say and not the machine-driven rules of greedy corporations 😃

First post! I'm moving off Meta and all corporate-owned sites and looking forward to actually getting to see the things that people post instead of being force-fed by algorithms.

I'm an indie writer, a watercolorist, an amateur photographer, a sewist, a crafty person and generally ADHD so who knows what I'll end up posting here. Just looking forward to seeing what everyone shares.

Hello Mastodon👋

It's fascinating how we end up in places like this, isn't it?

This is my #introduction, as I'm #newhere. And I look forward to meaningful conversation and sharing perspectives with this community!

Ah... and these lovely creatures are my partners in observation 😆

Scientists, doctors, and anyone interested in those fields: recommend me some accounts to follow! I'm interested in all areas of science and medicine, and would love to fill my feed up with similar folk ♥️ #science #medicine #biomedicine #newhere

If you know people who don't really dare to leave Xitter, you can suggest @cyd. This is nin free and open source software and thus the tool for freedom.

Please don't just blame people, but help them and show them how to achieve personal freedom. The eXit tool is now free to use and no longer an obstacle.

#introduction #newhere #neuhier
remember to follow a lot of people. Just do it. Don't think much.
Connect yourself with others to be seen. There are viral posts, but there is no algorithm to push you.
Invest in content and relations and you will be rewarded for that effort.

Hi guys! I'm a professional artist dipping my toes into the fediverse.

I'm already a bit nervous to start, but I managed to learn the basics of servers on Mastodon and have chosen one that I think is neat!

I'm really interested in expanding my fediverse experience so, if you have any tips or apps to recommend for someone who loves art, nature and the news, don't be shy to let me know!

To the pleasure of meeting all of you! :)

Hello Fediverse!



We are a (very slow) movement of idle idealists, who want to save humanity from overperformance.

Please always write our name in correct camel case.

#AsSlowAsPossible

Pressure to perform is the enemy of happiness and the good life for everybody.
Sloth is a virtue.
In this society however, being lazy is also a privilege.
We demand a universal right to be lazy.
Nobody's laziness should create more work for others though. Including machines and "AI".

The aim is to consume less and live more.

Hello, I'm new to Mastodon and Pixelfed and I'm learning the ropes. Are there any tips or tricks I should know, or accounts/servers I should follow?

Please say hi! :)

#newhere #introduction #nicetomeetyou

Hi there: I'm brand new to Mastodon and struggling to find my around. I signed up a few days ago to "@bookstodon" but I've decided that's not the server for me. Is there a way to close that account down and start over? Thanks! #newhere

I'm surprised by the amount of kindness I received from you all on here guys.

I simply introduced myself yesterday and I woke up this morning with tens of comments from people welcoming me and proposing to help me navigate easier on this plate-forme. Some also suggested me hashtags to follow according to my interests, etc.

Thank you so much. I'm grateful for you all and I'm looking forward to share more with you.

Have a wonderful day 🙏❤️

Travelling through social media time portals is like travelling in real life. Land safely, meet the locals, familiarise yourself with local customs and have fun together.

We do hope heaps of the fresh arrivals will stay. Start following hashtags to discover interesting peeps and feel free to ask questions.

Let’s create something tasty together.

Safe travels... And don't forget to check out @FediTips for more intel

New here and I find it difficult to connect to people. Any tips?

🌟 Mountains Starter Pack 🌟

As there is no algorithm, whenever people register on the Fediverse, their timeline is empty. With social media this is uncommon and therefore somewhat confusing to newcomers.

@anze3db has created a site 🙏 , where people can create Starter Packs. These are typically theme-based and gives a head-start at finding content.

Today I have created the "Mountains Starter Pack" with interesting accounts on the topic of mountains, hiking and the like (by no means this should be considered a complete list).

In case you have accounts that are relevant and you would like them on the list, just let me know and I will add them when they fit. In case you are on the list and you would like to be removed, first of all I'm sorry, and secondly of course I will remove you.

Just for your information, only accounts that are set up as "discoverable" can be added.

- of the column (it's tiny text right at the bottom, or you can go to https://mastodon.art/deck/directory (substitute your instance name as appropraite). You can click 'new arrivals', and you can also set it to only show new arrivals from your instance.

Look at the #Introductions and #NewHere hashtags too to find new folk.

People who have just arrived might not see, and might not know how to find, the information like my pinned posts, and we can't expect them to 'just know'. But we can help.
