I just joined Mastodon and am still wandering around, trying to get a sense of the place.

@clintruin thank you!

@rufustheduck Welcome and congrats on your very fine antigravity cat!

@rufustheduck Happy New Year! Oh, and you too, Rufus!

@rufustheduck

Welcome.

There's a party at the pool and Dr Pepper in the fridge.

Use, search and follow hashtags is a nice way to lurk around at the start.

#Introduction #fediverse

@mark thank you. So proud of her

@rufustheduck @aprilfollies Re the hashtags—it can also be worth clicking ones in your own posts. It's one of those things that's so obvious that nobody thinks of it. (Or at least I didn't for ages.)

@isotope239 she's says thank you and same to you. Oh, and I do too

@mastosalo thank you, I'll give it a try (the lurking, not the Dr. Pepper)

@timtfj @aprilfollies good thinking. I'll try to remember it

@rufustheduck

There might be some basic coke too, but that's it. Oh there is some surplus orange juice from the screwdrivers last night. I mean surplus, because during a blackout nobody got time to mix any drinks are u kiddin me

@rufustheduck

Welcome @rufustheduck

All these replies and no one mentions the hashtag:

#caturday

Beware on Saturdays you will have a lot of cat posts in your feed if you follow that tag. Enjoyable so I hope.

@rufustheduck
You are starting off a lot better than some folks who have been here for a long time and still can't figure out alt text. 🦎

@HikerGeek I have now followed it. Thank you - looking forward to Saturday

@lonelystone thank you. Doing my best to remember

@rufustheduck Nansen says hi #CatsOfMastodon
