#Welcome to the Fediverse! As others have already pointed out, the Fediverse is much more than just Mastodon.

However, as there is no such thing here as centrally verified profiles, we have no way to actually *know* that you are who you claim you are. Please see if you can set up profile verification on some widely trusted site, maybe even that of the Ukrainian parliament? joinmastodon.org/verification has a summary and docs.joinmastodon.org/user/pro has more in-depth instructions.

Hello #fediverse 👋 My name is Zhanna. I was born in Ukraine into a ukranian-russian family, spend more than half of my life in Germany. Now I live in Spain in Andalusia. I'm #newhere #neuhier #Новичок and looking forward to meeting new people.

For now I'm a full-time mother of two young people (4 and 5) and interested in #permaculture #permakultur #agroecology #agroforestry #freeeducation #nature #saveEwqarth #nocorporatebullshit blogpost of #charleseisenstein and I get almost nothing done during the day. Also I'm trying to learn Spanish without much success.

I would like to post some #PicturesOfTheDay from the mountains where I live now.

#Welcome to the Fediverse, @Ghostdog! It sounds like you will fit right in.

My standard disclaimer about Fedi, having been here a few years: you are in charge of building your feed here, so follow people and hashtags voraciously, and don't be afraid to unfollow, mute, block or filter as needed to curate your feed. Also don't just read, but also interact with others; it's often the best way to build connections.

There are all kinds of people here, but my experience is that most are friendly.
