    I joined #mastodon last week, on a whim, with no idea what to expect

    Minutes later, I was welcomed by @dillyd which has never happened on any other platform and was a wonderful introduction. So I posted a couple pictures of my #cats, and found, to my surprise, people reacting and interacting

    Maybe it's because I'm not fighting an algorithm, or maybe I just found a place where folks truly appreciate cats. Either way, I'm very happy to be here, and I hope you're prepared for more cat pictures

    @rufustheduck @dillyd cats are a GREAT introduction. Cats with alt text are even better!

          Welcome! Not only a lovely cat photo but you added Alt Text too 👏

          It might be worthwhile for you to know that this place runs on hashtags. They are effectively the algorithm 🙂👍

          The Fediverse is a great place!

              @rufustheduck @dillyd be careful it appears to be a friendly invitation but could be a perilous trick #cats #catsofmastodon

                  What brought you here? Did you already know people on here? I see you like bikes and books. If you haven't found them already, you might like the BikeTooter and bookstodon hashtags.

                              @rufustheduck @dillyd I'm allergic to cats. A-choo in your face but I'm wearing a KF94 mask at the Giant Eagle grocery store.

                                  your sleeping kitty looks so peaceful - that‘s so calming.

                                        I joined #mastodon last week, on a whim, with no idea what to expect

                                        Minutes later, I was welcomed by @dillyd which has never happened on any other platform and was a wonderful introduction. So I posted a couple pictures of my #cats, and found, to my surprise, people reacting and interacting

                                        Maybe it's because I'm not fighting an algorithm, or maybe I just found a place where folks truly appreciate cats. Either way, I'm very happy to be here, and I hope you're prepared for more cat pictures

                                        Welcome! Mastodon definitely has pros and cons, but I hope you'll enjoy it here.

                                        Minor tip: You can actually follow people on BlueSky and vice versa, as long as both parties have set up the bridge (which admittedly is a one time pain).
