@VincentTunru yeah this is going to be an awkward office day.

[kmj@mastodon.ctseuro.com]

@Gina The global timeline is for new users probably a good way to find interesting profiles to follow. Otherwise they start with nobody to follow, no followers and will leave because they are alone in the fediverse. This was IMHO the main reason people left Fedi again after they moved here from X.

@kmj If only it wasn't a porn-infested wasteland.

[kmj@mastodon.ctseuro.com]

@Gina unsure on which server they post porns too, but scrolling over the uninteresting stuff will still let you normally find good profiles. If not and its only porn, then one can only suggest to register on a different server.

@kmj considering that she started on mastodon.social I suspect she is seeing a wide variety of servers 😅

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@Gina if she isn't completely turned off, may I suggested a few wholesome accounts she may enjoy?

@NorcalGma2 @potterybyosa @sundogplanets and @sylvia are some of my absolute favorites...

then for fun memes and beautiful art there's @cmconseils, cat memes: @catsalad... thought-provoking memes: @skeletor

the queen of interesting content curation is @lisamelton

I'm probably forgetting a hundred interesting people, but this is a good start IMHO 🤗

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@_elena @NorcalGma2 @potterybyosa @sundogplanets @sylvia @cmconseils @catsalad @skeletor @lisamelton awesome, thanks for the recommendations. I'll pass them along 😁

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@Gina my pleasure Gina!

And please add @CarveHerName to the list of inspiring accounts to follow on here 🙏

[wcbdata@vis.social]

@Gina The usual hashtags would be my recommendation, too:
#mosstodon
#SilentSunday
#FensterFreitag
# [cityname] for where they live

And of course, @FediFollows

[gina@fosstodon.org]

@wcbdata @FediFollows I'm a big fan of #mosstodon :) Thanks!

[lisamelton@mastodon.social]

@_elena Thank you so much for the recommendation! 😊🥰💖
