Introductory post . . . At my brother’s suggestion I have made the transition to Mastodon! As an attorney, I spent my career in Health Care Law but my roots are in constitutional democracy. Now retired, I have time to search out fun facts, learn new crafts, and continue old interests. Most of the time I can be found in a comfy chair knitting or crocheting while listening to an audio book or podcast with one or more cats getting in the way. Looking forward to meeting some really cool people!

    @lmf02@mastodon.social Welcome 😊 Hashtags (#) are important here, both because they increase the reach of your post, and because you can follow them to find your people! You can always start with #CatsOfMastodon and #Crochet (CamelCase makes it easier for people who are using screen readers to parse the hashtag)

    @lmf02@mastodon.social Welcome Laura thank you for showing us your beautiful crochet.😊 #bookstodon and #gardening are two great hashtags to start and make friends. We love all animals here but it won't take you long to notice we tend to have an obsession with cats. #Caturday is actually any day of the week.πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š

    @lmf02@mastodon.social #Welcome! And, as everyone says, hashtags drive the fediverse. But a dirty secret is we do not all think of topics in the same way. #Knitting is big, but it is a subtopic #fiberarts β€” or #fibrearts! #Yarn, or #spinning? So many ways to find interesting things. Also, you can follow a hashtag, and get to see many of the posts floating in the ether about a topic you have interest in, but have not found people who share it yet.
