Blown away by the welcome! Thank you! If anyone would like to share reading on #Mastodon etiquette, I'm eager to learn.

I've read a little bit about using "content warning" when posting certain material, but would love to know more.

Silly question: If I respond to replies under my posts, do they show up in feeds of everyone who followed me or just mine? (Trying to figure out if I'm clogging people's feeds with my replies.)

Also realizing that 500 characters feels luxurious compared to 280.

@priyankaboghani I'm new too, so take with a grain of salt, but when you reply there should be a setting for visibility (for me it shows up as a lock below the text box). I believe that anyone mentioned in a reply (with @) will see it regardless of the setting, but I believe that will allow you to control whether your followers or the general public see it. I have seen it recommended (e.g. in this guide: axbom.com/mastodon-tips/) to reply unlisted to avoid clogging the public feeds.
