Don’t panic! Here’s what you’re gonna do:1.Make sure people can see you: fill out your profile, using hashtags so you’ll come up in searches. Use a picture for your header and pfp… it doesn’t have to be of you (although you look great!) but at least you won’t look like a bot. Then, do an #introduction post that other people will helpfully share.

Next thing you want to do is find your people. If you had a lot of mutuals, they’re probably wandering around here somewhere. The places to find them are 1. hashtags; 2. following other people who you know too.I’ve only been here since April & full time since last month, but I’ve already found lots of my friends! You will too

Your timeline:If you’re on a desktop*, you can see your Home, Local, and Federated timelines. Home is just people you follow. Local is your instance/server. Federated is everybody.Most common complaint I hear is that it’s “boring” here or “no one is here.” That’s because you’re not following anyone! As you find your peeps, the Home timeline will populate itself and conversation will start humming.*and you should be, it’s so much better! If not, try Tusky or another app

Now post normally*! Remember there’s no algorithm, so: 1. People can’t see you if you don’t say anything; 2. Boost things/people liberally so other people can find them while everyone is looking for each other; 3. Use hashtags* Use Content Wrappers for nudes/politics/Twitter mentions/anything that might bug somebody* Use alt-text to describe your pictures* Use CamelCase for hashtag so screen readers can read them

@babylontales Yeah there are a lot of detailed tips (shoutout https://fedi.tips/) but I was trying to cover "here are the things to do on your first day" for folks who just disembarked

"Gee I hope we don't run into the Nazi rally today while I'm trying to take my kids to their activities" is a real thing that I thought today in America, 2023.

I was trying to add a reminder to my calendar to "leave early" and I messed up typing and it autocorrected to "leave eerily" so... I think I'll just do that instead

My daughter has learned just enough French to realize that I say "allons-y" ironically and she is SO annoyed by it.She finally had enough and said "nobody says 'allons-y,' they say 'on y va.' It's like if you kept saying 'let's away then' like you were in Shakespeare."So now I've started saying "let's away" when it's time to leave the house and it's driving her NUTS

People really tell themselves they would have joined the Resistance in WWII and they... couldn't even stop using a lousy website

It's bumming me out to see so many universities forcing their English departments to put on a "English Majors Are Useful Too" promotional campaign to justify their existence when my experience out on the job market right now is HOT DAMN THIS ONE CAN WRITE A SENTENCE

Hey this is just a friendly reminder to anyone (in America) that IUDs last for 5 years and your insurance has to cover it (for the next 2 months at least)

Remember! Don't buy anything today! If you must, use cash @ a small business! Remember what I always say: DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO YOUR ENEMIES! Eat the stuff in the back of your fridge, and if you feel like online shopping, come here & shitpost instead. We got this! 🎨 by Martha Rich

Think it's very funny that some people feel the need to tell me that they won't do it... like okay? Don't then? It's not like I get a cut of the money you don't spend.If you're annoyed at the way things are currently going, here's one small action you can participate in to express that. If it's not your thing, you can just keep it moving. ✌️

My teenage daughter forgot the title of some of her father's favorite movies and guessed "2000 Space Adventure" and "Spinal Cord"
