Charles<p>Some of you may already know that I earned the CompTIA A+ certification in January. It took almost 11 months of studying to make it happen, and the hard work paid off.

Jessica Cannon<p>Welcome to the new folks joining Mastodon. Here’s a few things to make sure you do first on Mastodon:</p><p>-Profile picture, bio, and instruction posts are awesome, even if you’re not sure who/what to tag in them yet.</p><p>-Consider pinning an introduction post that tells us what you do and what you might be posting or sharing. This helps others know if they should follow you back.</p><p>-Use the search bar to search for hash tags of things you are interested in, for example <a href="https://c.im/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a>. This helps find some folks to start following.</p><p>-Once you start following people and finding some interesting (for you) content, boost those posts. This also helps others know what you are interested in sharing or doing on Mastodon.</p><p>-Consider checking out <a href="https://a.gup.pe/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">a.gup.pe/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> and seeing what groups interest you. These work as listservs, in a way—when you tag the @group you follow, it shares it with everyone in that group (like reply all).</p><p>-Keep at it! It will feel confusing for a few days, but there are numerous welcoming folks sharing tips on the feed all the time. Give it a little time and you will be a pro in no time.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Newbies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Newbies</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NewbiesWelcome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewbiesWelcome</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Welcome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Welcome</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GettingStarted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GettingStarted</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HowTo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HowTo</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hacks</span></a></p>
