Servus Fediverse!
Nach dem einstigen kommerziellen Tod von Google+, dem kulturellen Tod von Twitter und meinem Sackgassenversuch auf MeWe ist dies mein aktuell letzter Versuch fΓΌr soziale Interaktion im Netz, ohne Gefahr laufen zu wollen, fΓΌr Weltoffenheit an irgendwas genagelt zu werden. #newheretoo
What's everyone using to access #mastodon ? Official app, third-party app, web version? #newheretoo
@dbur
Welcome!
Use hashtags, follow people you find interesting, and let others know you're here. Nice bunch of folks to be found, and if you have any questions, don't be shy.

Hi there.
An instance is the same as a server. Mine is @newsie.social, and you're at @toot.io
And yes, people on other instances can see your posts if they follow you.
They can also see what you post when you use hashtags, e.g., #newheretoo, #mastodonmigration.
Likes and boosts are indeed cumulative.
Make use of hashtags--you will have more responses since more people will read what you have to say.
Overall, people are nice & helpful.
Following. Welcome! π

Could this be due to the influx of accounts since #Musk man apparently has lost his mind?
It only takes a few seconds to write a descriptive text for pictures, gifs, and other images.
Mastodon is the first platform where I've encountered such a request.
This should be a matter of practice. #newheretoo

Hi and welcome! It's wonderful meeting fellow #resisters. I've been here since Nov. 20. The people here are really nice. Hashtags ate important here and don't be shy when it comes to asking questions. Movetodon.org helps find Twitter friends who've moved here and Mastodon has a user's manual to help you become better acquainted. https://mastodon.help. #twittermigration #newheretoo

Hi! ππ» I'm #NewHereToo, and without the algorithms we have to rely on #hashtags and looking at each other's followers. Follow any and everyone who seems interesting, you can unfollow as you go along. If you are on a general-interest server (like I am), when you see someone interesting who is on a more special-interest server, go check out that server and those people.
@aby Iβm using Metatext for iOS. If I click on the photo the alt text is shown at the bottom of my screen. Not sure if you can add it. #NewHereToo

Looks like you are using an app? Many have found the apps to be somewhat lacking. Try using the website directly, it's easier and more featured. I'm on an Android device using Firefox (go #OpenSource !) and this is what my screen looks like. The search thingy you are looking for is the hashtag third from the top.

Hi! ππ» Alt text is the descriptive caption added to pictures for visually-impaired readers. You can add your own when you upload pictures.
What do you mean when you say it doesn't recognize your instance? The intance is your home server. Are you using the Tusky app? Try using the Mastodon site (not an app). I'm also using an Adroid device, with Firefox browser, and it is much better than the apps I've tried. It is kinda confusing to start
