Hello. My first time here. As the title says, this is my first “thread” creation here. What are some things I should watch out for when I post here? Am I even allowed to create a thread even though this is my first time here? Or are there rules like Karma points, like in Reddit? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. And nice meeting you all!
Welcome River
I haven’t seen any rules as such but there might be some guides on how a fediverse works.
Its not really a Karma driven place, Its quite chill, a little boring for some. Niche communities are very slow here, you often wont get a quick response or much engagement. Its not personal its just how things are. It’s almost the opposite of reddit in some ways.
If there is something you are passionate in there is lots of opportunity to contribute to smaller communities or even start a new one.
Tailoring what you see takes a bit of tinkering, some adding, some blocking. You can also block individuals. If you can get past the initial slowness, its quite a nice social spot.
