We have a lot of veterans here on Mastodon, you'll get the hang of the memes eventually. A ton of us joined in April last year. It's been a crazy roller-coaster year.

We do welcome you with open arms, just take notice of your instance rules which can be found at your instance.domain/about/more usually!

If the rules do not apply to you, or you see someone else seeming unaware of them, do report! Admins and moderators are here to help!
