Welcome!
Don't feel bad at all to ask questions. Even those of us who have been here a few months can sometimes feel like we have a lot to learn. Mastodon has a lot of capabilities, interests, and nuances.
Some of the fun #hashtags here are:
#FensterFreitag (German for #WindowFriday, because Mastodon began in Germany), where you will find cool photos of windows and architecture. (There are a lot of very talented #photographers on here.)
#HashtagGames where you can find fun wordplay games.
#Jokestodon for jokes and #humor.
#Dogstodon and #Catstodon and #Caturday all have great pet photos.
A lot of hashtags end in "-todon", after a subject. For example, #Geneadon is for #Genealogy. My favorite bit of wordplay with this suffix is the hashtag for donkey photos: #Asstodon.😄
And like on other platforms, you can also find a topic followed by "-OfMastodon," like #DogsOfMastodon.

It's #FollowFriday! 🎉 A huge #Welcome! to the many new people who have recently arrived from Twitter.
This is a great platform, friendly & positive. You'll find great results moreso by interacting, than by merely posting and waiting for likes. #Follow accounts you like, and #FollowBack back whomever you can.
There is no algorithm here, trying to feed you trolls & ads. You can influence your #ForYou topics and what's in your scrolling feed by using #hashtags. Using hashtags generously in your posts (here, tweets are called "Toots") helps other accounts find you to follow you. You can check out hashtags of interest for accounts to follow, and even automatically Follow hashtags.
Best of all, you can EDIT your posts! 🥳🎉
There are accounts to help you figure things out and to answer tech questions, like the amazing @feditips. Be sure to follow them, and check their feed for great advice.
Welcome!

My answer, in part, to your question is I made a thread summarising what I learned in my first Mastodon days & put my intro Onramp thread on my profile eg here👇
https://mastodonapp.uk/@ArtBear/109363125342380109
Then I turned my Twitter account into an offramp to lead people to Mastodon easily, through account creation & finding friends & on to that early days intro Onramp thread. Twttr Offramp starts here👇

#Mastodon non è Twitter. Questo ottimo articolo di Wired ne illustra le peculiarità e spiega come muovere i primi passi nel #fediverso.

Having a bit of a cry about how lonely I am all of a sudden. Something is wrong with me which is why I’m alone.

Hey Mastodon friends.
I have a case of the big sads today and feeling fragile as well as down on myself.
What do you do when feeling low and down that helps you feel better but also feel better about yourself?

The biggest difference I'm finding on this platform is that it's not as lonely as the other place can make you feel.
There, you can feel like you're crying into the void and no-one hears or responds, no matter how much you need them to. You have to have Big Things to say, and Important People listening.
Here, it's a different matter altogether, the welcome mat is well and truly rolled out. So thanks from all us little voices.

Ngl struggling with my depression the last few days 😔
Thank you to everyone for being so welcoming and kind here I really appreciate it.
A little bit of kindness goes a long way🥹

Hey all. I'm going to run an RPG I prepped for a convention that was cancelled as an online game
Scenario: Platte is the most boring posting in the entire US Air Force. When men with classified orders arrive everything gets strange. Content warning: The scenario is based around sanity mechanics and deteriorating mental health.. I will be aiming to run it very light hearted and comedic, but it is a horror adventure.
