@joannastern Hello and welcome to Mastodon (and the Fediverse)! There’s been a really great community of people slowly developing over here for the past few years. And it’s all based on a pretty neat decentralized network as you probably already know. Happy to see Twitter folk finding a home here and growing the community. Lots of people here are willing to help answer questions as you get to know the place, don’t hesitate to ask!
