WIRED just published my beginner's guide to Mastodon! Thank you to the 100+ people who responded to my request for tips and advice for understanding the culture here. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-get-started-use-mastodon/

    @jhpot Nicely done! It’s more like hanging out at a pub over beers than it is walking around a shopping mall trying to have a conversation.

    @jhpot I'd like to be the first to tell you in detail about everything you got wrong in this article. 🧵 (1/87)

    @jhpot one thing I didn't see there, that I would suggest because you talk about being able to follow people, is NOT setting an account to approve followers. I can't even imagine the amount of extra work it takes someone like you to sift through them all, but it also prevents your posts showing up in a feed until you approve the follow - yet your posts are still visible (if publicly posted) when one visits your profile page. Great read, thanks for putting that together! #Mastodon #tips

    @jhpot Nice article :) I will definitely share this with my friends when they ask about #Mastodon "For example, if I were sharing a nude picture of myself I could write the content warning “nude pasty white dude.” Anyone who wants to see me, for some reason, can click to do so, but everyone else is spared." 😂 This was fun.

    @jhpot just wanted to let you know I enjoyed reading this article. I hope it will reach a wide audience including people who may not have realized that Mastodon is something different and wouldn’t have otherwise tried it.

    @jhpot Thank you for your contribution. Some months ago, I was interviewed on the Fediverse. If you are interested, here is the source: https://www.assodpo.it/2022/07/21/The-Fediverse-what-is-it-and-how-does-it-work/

    @jhpot Thank you for the informative article. I not only learned more about how to best use Mastodon, but I learned what rickrolling was. Hey, what can I say, I know a lot about pop culture but I am fast approaching being 80. 😆 :ablobcatattentionreverse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling

    @jhpot Excellent article, thank you. I posted it to my Facebook friends, many of whom were around with me back in the early days of the internet and would appreciate Mastodon if they could just get started here.

  • @jhpot thank you for this! I’m a newbie here and it’s giving me such quirky early internet nostalgia - I forgot how fun and odd twitter was early on, and I’m reconnecting with that spirit here, it’s beautiful
