Ahhhh, I love finding a nice new fedi handle to follow. The initial “I must scroll through their posts and like every post that stands out” is always a blast. The feeling of “following” on here feels markedly different. I don’t post stuff because I care if other people see what I’m doing; I post stuff on here because it makes people _talk to me_ about stuff I enjoy. And that seems to hold true for most folks on here; most of us did our time in the walled gardens. We want connection, not ads. And a profile full of mushrooms and hiking _on silent Sunday_ is inimitable. I can’t stop gushing about all the amazing people I follow here.
