(In case you missed this...)

If you're feeling a bit isolated this Christmas and you want some everyday conversation, there is a special hashtag and group you can follow where people will be posting about what they are up to:

Feel free to reply to posts on this tag or group! The idea is to encourage friendly chat among people who are doing everyday stuff like food, walks, hobbies etc.

You can post anytime, but the tag and group tend to be most active at Xmas.

@FediTips @joinin I probably missed it, what is a group in mastodon ?

@panigrc

It's a special kind of account that boosts any posts sent to it. Think of it like a "super hashtag" because it distributes its posts to every server that follows it.

@FediTips @joinin Hi, I never used twitter back when it existed, and am lost as to how the features and UI here work. Can someone point me to a from-nothing guide?

@ctag

Yeah!

Have a look at the website at fedi.tips and the section at the top of the page marked "Quick Start" has links to all the most essential guides for getting started.

Also feel free to ask if you have any questions! I am an unofficial tech support account :)

@FediTips @joinin this is so wholesome as someone who will be in my bedroom this year avoiding people I might pop into the timeline on the day :-)
