#support Is there a way to have my home feed pick up where I left off the last time I was on the site? Ideally this would carry over across devices.
What I've learned so far, for the benefit of other #Elongate refugees:
1) The best way to find people is to browse the #introductions hashtag. It's like walking into a party, talking to people at random, and deciding who you want to know more about.
2) The federated timeline is a firehose of extremely free speech with a very low signal to noise ratio. Your home or local timelines are probably better bets, but if you want to look into the unfiltered heart of the internet, you do you.

If you just came here and don't know how to "fill your timeline", remember that besides following people with the same interests (there's plenty in #introduction / #introductions), you can enable the advanced web interface in your preferences.
Create your own "content columns" for every topic you're interested in!
Just pin the hashtags you want, even multiple in one column if you wish (like #cats & #dogs), or exlude some you don't want to see (like I did in the #art column in this screenshot).

Weird starship names generated by neural net software.
Yes, they sound like something out of an Iain Banks "The Culture" novel
@PriscillaCanada What are you learning?
This summer I'm planning to learn R and some drawing, and to continue learning about Unity, Go (the game, not the language), and fire dancing.

#2612 Lightsabers
A lot of Jedi romances start with this turning into a Lady and the Tramp spaghetti situation.

@khird Yes, for several years all I did was automatically forward my tweets here, rarely if ever checking Mastodon. After Elongate, I'm making this my primary social media home, so I would like my toots to show up in the timeline.
Hmm, why didn't that last toot show up on the local timeline? My stuff is maximally public by default. #support
I finally figured out how to find the to-be-reviewed work in #GoogleClassroom without clicking through each assignment. Go to the the main GC page (not within an individual class) and click on "to review" at the top. #education #lms

For if you are wondering who to follow or where even to start...
Oh my goodness! 😮 Hello to all you new people on here! 👋 FediFollows (that's me) recommends accounts to follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse, yo...

TBH I have no idea what I'm doing here yet; or even if I'm going to stick around. But I am not enthused by the prospects for twitter in view of yesterday's news ...
@marathon0 I'll stick around if I find enough of the people I know here. (The lack of a network was the reason I didn't stick with Mastodon before.) If not, then ... Discord?
Overheard Sunday night: "I don't want to go to sleep because then the weekend will be over."
#support are groups and circles explained somewhere?
#support The link at https://docs.framasoft.org/en/mastodon/User-guide.html to the list of mobile apps is broken.
