Welcome, #forkiverse peeps. It's great to have you here!

To help you get acclimatised, here are a few handy tips:

* Please pick up your blåhaj from the catgirl at the door. Don't worry, they won't bite. Unless you're into that.

* Being callous and unthinking will get you swiftly and indefinitely muted and/or blocked.

* Please remember to use content warnings as needed, and add alt text to photos.

* Photos of moss, windows, and silent scenes are always appreciated.

* Praise John Mastodon
