Anyone out in the #Fediverse running the macOS Sonoma Beta? Is it useable for everyday tasks? Asking for a friend. ;). Seriously, IMO if any one can try the Developer versions now without being a paying Developer it must be pretty stable / useable correct?
On joining the #Fediverse, of which Mastodon is just a part, the first thing to do is not follow people but fill you profile in . Doesn't have to be 5,000 words, just 4 or 5 hashtags about things you like, then over time look at other peoples profiles & add to yours
A lot of people block or mute empty profiles here so get that profile started.
#Feditips is a good tag to search for help just after joining

Social media tip: It's odd and a bit off-putting to have one's first interaction with someone you followed be a question-driven chatty DM. Although mutuals can directly message each other, it's rare, in my experience, and usually between people who have interacted already. I've had 2 on #mastodon. In years on the bird site, I don't recall any like this. As we got spam in our direct messages here, making everyone a bit suspicious of messages from new follows, please don't do that.
