Does anybody have any tips they can give me on how to better use/understand this platform? Since I only joined earlier on today, any form of advice would be appreciated. Thanks. 🙂
Bottom line, it's mostly just nice folks casually chatting.
If you have any technical questions about how to use various features, and there are many more than you can even guess, just ask.
My advice would be, just remember that everyone here is a real person.
(except @Alfred, our resident AI assistant)
Show them the courtesy and respect you would like for yourself, and everything else will come easily.

I missed bookmark-like likes, and full text searches at first too, but I have come to see these little differences between CoSo and other platforms as kind of brilliant ways of keeping us in the present.
Your notifications column works pretty well for keeping track of responses to you, or mentions of you, but it is no big deal if you miss some things.
I feel kind of liberated from my "permanent record" here ;)

Ah, since you mention "ghosting" as being a rude thing, that might be an expectation to adjust here.
We are actually encouraged to mute or block anyone for any reason if they are not enhancing our experience at the moment, e.g. too much politics, sports, word puzzles, murders or whatever else you are not enjoying.
Give it some time and you will notice which folks are stuck on broadcast, and which are more conversational.
Nobody owes anyone a response here though.☮️ ✌️
