I’m always pretty sad when I go back and check on new users that I had welcomed and suggested they post an introduction, only to realize they never did and never made another post…

I have a feeling some of those people are the “Fediverse is too confusing!” People, yet they don’t even try.🤦‍♂️

    Does anyone else actually even do this? Like - you really stalked people you talked to just once on the internet to check if they followed your advice?

      @kitnaht stalked people? Nah? I follow people that seem interesting from their initial post.

      And yes, I regularly review who I follow because I think it’s important to realize that people and interests change over time and we might not be still as compatible.

        Why would you follow people and not topics? That seems completely backwards. Like going to a forum for something, and not reading any of the topics, but clicking on people and reading their interactions. That’s weird as hell.

          @kitnaht I’m not on a forum, I’m on a microblogging platform.

          I host mastodon on my own instance.

          Fediverse has many different flavors. I actually didn’t intend for this post to go to Lemmy, but Fedia.io is creating topics from hashtags used, regardless of the software used when making the post.
