New people, welcome to Mastodon and the Fediverse!
Here's how to get started:
1. Find some people to follow over on @FediFollows, and through Trunk (https://communitywiki.org/trunk)
2. Find out your Mastodon/Fediverse address so you can share it with friends (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107248252715651564)
3. Invite people to join you on here by telling them to go to https://joinmastodon.org and click on "Get Started". It doesn't matter if they join a different server because the servers talk to each other (here's a bit more of an explanation https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107021461185874594)
4. Find out what the Fediverse is (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107044096139091624)
5. Find out why Mastodon being on so many different servers/instances is a really good thing (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107083735491993183)
6. If you see anything nasty, you can report it to your friendly server admin (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106540152842368591)
7. You can (sort of) verify your account if you own a website (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106274105538953001)
If you have any questions, @ me or DM me!
This is an interesting idea. I definitely have a notebook full of ideas that I've done nothing with. Maybe it's time to focus! 🤔

I'm a husband, father, and Data Engineer living in Texas. I'm not an avid user of social media, but I'm giving Mastodon a shot as it seems more laid back. I take a little while to warm up, but I love meeting new people!
