🎉 Welcome to newcomers! 🎉
A few personal tips:
👌 the Fediverse is NOT twitt*r! enjoy a more relaxed, courteous, benevolent way of interacting! you are part of it!
🤚 introduce yourself! also fill bio and post a couple "toots" before following people to have more chance they'll follow back..
👍 favourite and follow generously! This is how to create link around. No algorithm-god is spying on you, telling you who to follow, what to read! \o/
⚠️ many people care about CW... learn about that
💗

Would the community be interested in a weekly summary of new users to help introduce and welcome them?

We've had more than a few signups recently that mention being invited by a friend.
Unfortunately, they are hard to distinguish from spam.
If you have a friend you would like to invite, please use the invite people function which you can find here: https://socel.net/invites
This will ensure invitees can complete the signup process.
Thanks everyone
Welcome new users & apologies for the delay in approving you

A neat feature of the latest Mastodon 3.2.0 release is the ability to add personal notes to profiles.
These can be used for any note such as personal details you'd like to remember, additional info that isn't in their profile, or any bit of text you like.
These notes are only visible to you.
Do you like what someone you follow says but not what they share?
There's an option to hide their boosts in the options menu!

Actually, we've been learning the recent outages don't have anything to do with our hosting provider at all, and is actually a larger problem with Cloudflare leading to connectivity problems all over the internet.
We still apologize for any issues you may have accessing .ART! Let us or @mastohost know if it gets worse.

Hello, my lovely Masto.ARTists!
We apologize for any intermittent downtime you might experience today. Our wonderful hosting provider, @mastohost, has been installing updates to make our experience smoother, which might come with brief service interruptions.
Let me know if you have any questions/concerns! Take care, all.

For our new users who may be unfamiliar with how we handle problematic accounts, here is the official policy:
Actions start with the user and escalate from there:
1. Always report problematic toots and accounts
2. Users can also block accounts if they simply wish not to see its toots or interact with the account-holder
3. Users can block entire instances for similar reasons
4. If an instance causes problems for numerous Socel users, then the instance will be blocked at the admin level.
Hello Everyone,
If you have friends that are interested in joining, you can send them an invite link directly so that they can sign up without having to fill in the form on the front page.
This is handy since the review system we have in place to combat spam means accounts can take a few hours before they are approved.
You can generate invites under the 'Invite People' tab in the preferences area.
