Story Time! When I joined Mastodon, almost a year ago, we grew crazy amounts in just a few days and weeks. We had a bot that would #welcome everyone! and it was pretty fantastic.
The federated timeline lagged with 2-4hrs, and it gave an interesting pace to the conversations.
I'm getting similar vibes tonight! With that, #Welcome everyone! :) Feel free to write an #introduction and hashtag appropriate keywords of your interests, it helps you find other people and vice versa!
