   There are very good reasons why this place is decentralised. The structure prevents Musk-type scenarios but also protects against many other dangers:

   If you want help getting started have a look at https://fedi.tips, especially the quick start section at the top.

     @annporterla You have to put more work into it here. You can see who I follow to get an idea, but there's really nothing that says "oh you follow this person, so you might like these people."

     They *just* added full text search and some people aren't on-board so in order to get proper engagement you must use hashtags.

     Also you can give @feditips a follow. They generally have some good info for newbies.

     @annporterla the other unfortunate thing is a lot of people who were used to getting X likes and Y RTs on the bird site got discouraged here because they got X/100 likes and Y/100 RTs. They stopped posting and went back to the other place.

     Not sure how this will work. Distributed social media is a hindrance to connection, but the platform formerly known as Twitter is kind of garbage.
