Hey Shop! I have a what-does-community-want question for you to ponder & provide a little feedback on.

When we have new users sign on, we don't make much of a to-do about it. Some other sites announce new accounts (see the quote post).

One of the barriers to people feeling welcome "in the Fediverse" has been the lack of any algorithmic or pre-set content or connections offered. People sign on, see either a blank screen, OR A FIREHOSE IN THEIR FACE!!!! and they don't come back again.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://wandering.shop/users/proprietor/statuses/116053558982582266 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
