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!
Yep.
Nope. Just avoid acting like if you knew everything better when you don’t. It’s ok to be a newcomer and to make mistakes, as long as they’re only mistakes.
Learn to use keywords filtering and maybe limit you home feed to ‘Subscribed’ instead of ‘All’. That will limit the content to whatever is being posted in those communities you’re subscribed to. Removing all the rest. In my case it helps making sure I don’t see much (no memes, barely anything political and barely any news beside the few niche topics I’m interested in).
Also, don’t be afraid to block people when you realize they’re becoming a nuisance. Your time is precious, or it should be, don’t waste it with people that just wish to trigger you. I certainly don’t hesitate myself.
Nice to meet you and welcome, obviously :)
