I joined #mastodon last week, on a whim, with no idea what to expect

Minutes later, I was welcomed by @dillyd which has never happened on any other platform and was a wonderful introduction. So I posted a couple pictures of my #cats, and found, to my surprise, people reacting and interacting

Maybe it's because I'm not fighting an algorithm, or maybe I just found a place where folks truly appreciate cats. Either way, I'm very happy to be here, and I hope you're prepared for more cat pictures

@rufustheduck @dillyd Sancho would say hi but he's busy sleeping

@rufustheduck @dillyd Great to hear that you're liking it here!

Send cats.

@rufustheduck i think it is a combination of appreciation of pets and also people congregating who do seek something different from an o line network than the algorithm filled ones currently do.

And also welcome

@rufustheduck That is a good looking cat.

@rufustheduck
I'm so happy you're liking it here.
Shout out to @Kitty who published a twelve days of fedi thread on welcoming new people to mastodon. They inspired me.

Thanks for the shout out @dillyd

Welcome to the fediverse
@rufustheduck being found by Dillyd means that you're in great company, and will have loads of cool content in your home timeline 🤩

@rufustheduck @dillyd welcome aboard. I joined this platform last week and I must say, I'm really impressed with it.

@rufustheduck @dillyd

Welcome! Not only a lovely cat photo but you added Alt Text too

It might be worthwhile for you to know that this place runs on hashtags. They are effectively the algorithm

The Fediverse is a great place!

@rufustheduck Bring on the cats!

@rufustheduck @dillyd be careful it appears to be a friendly invitation but could be a perilous trick #cats #catsofmastodon
