Something that isn't super clear to users like myself on #Mastodon is joining a server. Can I join more than one? How do I join a server of someone I follow?

My #MastodonNewbieTips tag will be for useful things I have discovered that might be useful for other Mastodon newbies. Like me. :)

The advanced web interface looks like TweetDeck. #MastodonNewbieTips

Well I’m glad I’m totally lazy and tried to get my dad @freddiebrown999 to move me to aus.social server and so didn’t actually move bc I’ve now absolutely been sold on sticking where I am. #mastodoninstance #MastodonNewbieTips #twittermigration #ImNotGoodAtFollowingRules 😂

Can someone recommend some good follows on here? A lot of what I followed on #twitter either isn’t here or I can’t find it #mastodonnewbietips

I can’t find the original toot that mentioned this, but here’s a reminder: please put all hashtags at the end instead of interspersing them in the body of your message. When alt readers process the sequence of “hashtag topic” it’s a mashup that creates a barrier to communication.

I was always strictly private on The Other Site but am going to experiment with non-protected posts here.

One thing I can't figure out: for using hashtags, do I need to choose "public," or is "unlisted" enough? I'm not finding a primer that explains the differences specifically related to hashtag browsing.

(Hopefully one of these hashtags will attract an answer!)

I thought this was helpful to explain some of the intricacies of Mastodon that I've had trouble putting succinctly to friends and family. Perhaps a good intro for other newcomers? WIRED Gadget Lab - Demystifying Mastodon

Does anyone know how I would choose what to bookmark vs. favorite? #mastodonnewbietips

Still feel like I’m the new kid in school, trying to figure out what I’m doing and how things work. Does anytime have any tips they want to share? #MastodonNewbieTips

@feditips
Finally had a chance to read some of the tips. Very well done. If I started with your website fedi.tips I would have saved myself some consternation (toots, instances, edit images), but figuring it out also meant I spent a lot of time interacting with people and toots. Win/Win either way. Definitely recommend for those who want to spend less time floundering.
