ok but what does it mean to follow a hashtag? will those posts show up on my home feed?

#Mastodon #N00b Discovery: Word to the wise, once you post, you cannot change the #privacy level of your posts. To correct this, choose the "delete & repost" option. #n00btip #mastodonn00b #tips

Semi-delicate #mastodon #n00b #question: What's the etiquette on boosting your own toots? Is this considered bad form here or just a way to push your old toots back up again to the top of the feed? After all, "pin on profile" is also an option. #mastodonn00b #mastodonquestion

#mastodon #n00b #question: I've noticed that when I DM people here, sometimes the system posts these messages as if they're toots and not DMs, which is a bit unsettling for obvious reasons. I've deleted the unintentional toots & retried DM'ing them a few times but it's still posting my DMs as toots instead of DMs. What do I need to do differently, if anything, to fix this? I thought all DMs would be listed in the "DM" section? Pls enlighten me, sage tooters. TY! #mastodonn00b #mastodonquestion

@kierisi I'm confused but I'm participating! #MastodonN00b

I remain terrible at Mastodon. I can’t even figure out how to replace my banner photo with a picture of my dog. And now I learn I have to start using hashtags for everything? #badatmastodon #mastodonn00b

Will do a proper introduction toot, soon, but for now: LOOOOVE the ad-free experience on here, and also that my timeline doesn't refresh suddenly while scrolling or reading. #awesome #mastodonn00b

I live in #a2 #annarbor #michigan and we have a special affinity for mastodons.

Glad to be here.

If you're a Mastodon veteran, what #MastodonTips would you offer us #Mastodonn00b coming over in the #TwitterMigration?

As you can tell, the only thing I know yet is that hashtags are a thing! (thanks @tbaxter)
