Dear Twitter people. Lots of us were once Twitter people too. This place will not spoon-feed you. Passive participation doesn’t work here. This is a very active and buzzing place, but unless you FOLLOW people and INTERACT, it will pass you by.
Follow people. Lots of them. You can always remove them later. But really, follow early, follow often.
@goatsarah is Friendica a different server?
Not sure how the different servers work. How do you find people on them?
@AvogadrosConstant Friendica is a different platform. Mastodon is, roughly, like Twitter. Friendica is, roughly, like Facebook.
Finding people: follow people you like the look of. You will see them interact with other people. If you like the look of them, follow them too.
