Seems like new people are arriving via #forkiverse. My biggest Mastodon tip is follow everyone. Not just ha ha ha ya follow everyone, no I mean follow everyone you can. With no algorithm you need content for your feeds. You can always cutaway the accounts you don't like after the fact. You have way more safety tools here than on any other platform so follow en masse.

@mike@thecanadian.social what's forkiverse
@Stomata @mike a new Mastodon instance: https://theforkiverse.com/
It was set up as an experiment I believe, by a podcast that has a lot of listeners, a bunch of whom have signed up.
Second tip for newcomers. Don't use the official mobile apps, they're garbage. Use a third party mobile app. I use @pachli as an Android user. Ask around for IOS there are several good ones.
@mike Coming in with iOS-App recommendations for the #forkiversers:
Ice Cubes is great, open source and free without feature restrictions (there is a tip jar): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ice-cubes-for-mastodon/id6444915884
Mona is nice, too; just related a new major version (some features are limited via one-time in-app purchase): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mona-7-for-mastodon/id6755672518
