I'm always pretty sad when I go back and check on new users that I had welcomed and suggested they post an introduction, only to realize they never did and never made another post.... (social.beaware.live)

I have a feeling some of those people are the "Fediverse is too confusing!" People, yet they don't even try.🤦‍♂️

It can be that way, but welcoming people could also be scaring them away.

On FB I've joined groups to see that once a month the admin posts a "this month we welcome"-post, which lists and tags every new member. Every single time I've seen that I've noped out and left. Just let me creep in peace and quiet, and maybe I'll join in ... eventually.

@[email protected] I don't do that. That'd be quite annoying considering I have almost 1200 follow relationships!

I simply reply to their "Hi Mastodon" posts with a welcome and suggest they do an introduction post if their post doesn't include info about them. Then I usually follow them because I enjoy helping new people navigate this place.

It can be very confusing if you're not tech savvy.
