#introduction
Hello! I'm new to Mastodon and came here after watching Shonalika's video on it.
I'm transfemme and started on hormones a few weeks ago.
I've heard about how comforting and communal Mastodon is, and I hope to become a part of that.
@MarieTheNightOwl Hi Marie and welcome! I hope you’ll feel at home here :).
@MarieTheNightOwl Welcome! 😊 I found infinite community & support here, and I hope your experience proves to be as good as mine was 
@MarieTheNightOwl Welcome! It's quite the journey, ne? ^_^
You're likely seeing Mastodon's "single column" mode at the moment - there's Local (just folk on this instance), Home (everyone you're following), and Federated (everyone! Sort of =:). Ellie's guide explains it all, somewhat briefly:

I'd have to agree - Masto's a pretty special place. ^_^
@MarieTheNightOwl Welcome here ! 
@MarieTheNightOwl @elilla Welcome to the Fediverse, Marie!
Welcome!
There certainly are some good people on here, though as @ghost_bird said, some are not, so be sure to use the block and report functions without hesitation when you come across anyone posting stuff that you find offensive, hurtful, etc.
Hope you find whatever it is you seek. Stay safe!
@MarieTheNightOwl the trans community here is amazing 
@MarieTheNightOwl It is considered tradition that you join me in a dance.
@MarieTheNightOwl
Welcome! I'm new here too and so far it's been great. I hope you'll have a good time here!
@MarieTheNightOwl welcome here! If you need any help, please ask :)
@MarieTheNightOwl Welcome to mastodon!
@MarieTheNightOwl Welcome! Parts of mastodon are more comforting and communal than others, but we do try :-)
