britt, A few quick tips for new #MstdnGames users:
Since this is a 'niche' instance, my first recommendation is to check out the 'Local' feed. You will find public posts here from users ONLY on our instance. You'll quickly be able to find your people and they'll be able to find you!
Write an #introduction post and use #Hashtags -- that's how we find each other on this platform. (i.e. #gaming #Nintendo #PS5, etc)
Have fun! Reach out if you need help - our community is very friendly.
