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

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 welcome to the fediverse!
we may be quite partial to cats, yes
-
@mirabilos @SPECR_cat NOW i do!
@rufustheduck @SPECR_cat he’s well worth a visit, if one’s in the area (for me, “in the area” last year meant “I have a few hours in London before my Eurostar back home”)

-
@rufustheduck @dillyd nice one, mate! I've always suspected Mastodon is a social media crowded with cat lovers...
#CatsOfMastodon #mastocats #gats@GelatDeTramussos that must be why I like it here
-
@rufustheduck @dillyd
Cat content is always welcome

... and you, too, of course.@lovely_Natur_und_Kultur thank you!
-
@rufustheduck @dillyd One of the main reasons the internet was invented was to transmit images of cats, after all.

@landelare good point!
-
@rufustheduck @dillyd
And we're very happy to have you (and your cats of course)
@alex thank you!

@LevZadov gorgeous!

@rufustheduck @dillyd It’s better here.

@donhawkins I have to agree!

@rufustheduck @dillyd I am here ENTIRELY to share that I too have a spotty-nose tuxedo child.

@rufustheduck @dillyd I estimate that a good 30% of Fedizens are basically the social media managers for their cats.
@beecycling @rufustheduck @dillyd at least a further 10% are social media managers for dogs, rats, rabbits, donkeys, goats, assorted birds and giant African landsnails
