Dear Fedi friends,
Can you please join me in giving a warm welcome to @laurenlopes@mastodon.social?
Lauren and I interacted on Threads, where she stumbled upon some of my posts from #TheFutureIsFederated and became curious about the #Fediverse (please Lauren correct me if I’m wrong).
Well, earlier this week Lauren joined #Mastodon 🥳
It always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when I see someone climb over the walled gardens of Big Tech platforms to explore the Fediverse.
Welcome Lauren!!!
@_elena@mastodon.social @laurenlopes@mastodon.social Welcome to the fediverse! 👋
@_elena@mastodon.social @laurenlopes@mastodon.social welcome!
@_elena@mastodon.social thank you for the shoutout! I just saw a ton of notifications and was like WHAT IS HAPPENING 😂
@laurenlopes@mastodon.social P.S.: Lauren it may be a good idea to write an #introduction post (using that hashtag) and pin it at the top of your profile 🤗 https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/08/mastodon-quick-start-guide/
@_elena@mastodon.social you’re like the cooler version of Clippy, except actually helpful 😂 - thank you!
@laurenlopes@mastodon.social haha I love it! ❤️ I’ll screenshot this and print it out / tape it to my monitor 😂 🤣
@laurenlopes@mastodon.social see I was totally serious - your comment made my day 😂
@_elena@mastodon.social baaahahaha oh my gosh this is the best thing ever
@laurenlopes@mastodon.social 😂 people here are the nicest!
Welcome again Lauren 😊
@_elena@mastodon.social so now my question - is there an easy way to see who followed me and follow back without clicking into each account?
@laurenlopes@mastodon.social I’m not sure about that.
But the Fediverse is really all about building genuine connections (as opposed to growing followers / vanity metrics) so I wouldn’t worry about that
@_elena@mastodon.social @laurenlopes@mastodon.social nice, welcome to the gang
@_elena@mastodon.social @laurenlopes@mastodon.social welcome to the fediverse Lauren!
