Witchtober 21st - Scarf I had a lot of options for "scarf" when it came to personal pictures, but I decided Shellari's magic scarf was the best choice given I'm making a comic about these two. Also, I was only going to color the scarf, but decided to throw simple colors on the entire thing.

Bird monster not impressed by fox girl's cheerful assessment of the bird's scarf feeling like anxiety and despair.

A friend asked me for tips on finding your crowd here. I've been lucky in finding cool folks I know from elsewhere & new folks, but it does take a little investigating and work :) So here are a few tips if you're new and wondering where to start (not comprehensive!) Thanks @kateburgener.bsky.social

How I found my crowd on BlueSky
*not about followers

#1 Look, it's me!
• Upload an avatar
[drawing of avatar blob-person, underneath it says: It's me | I make arts]
• fill out the bio. Make sure you mention what you do if you're looking for peers/fellow travelers
•Make an intro post (so folks can see more of who you are)

#2 SEARCH (a little)
[drawing of magnifying glass]
• Find folks you know from other places (you only need to find a few, BECAUSE...)
• Look at the follows/followers of folks you know! Just like in real life, they probably know other folks you do.

#ENGAGE

• Post stuff that has something to do w/the people you want to connect with
• Comment on posts. On here replies are out front, other people see these and can find you!

TIP: set your replies to 0 in Home Feed setting to see more replies

NOTE: Comment sincerely and positively, not just to be seen. Avoid sarcasm and irony because they can come off as shitty.#4 FIND YOUR FEEDS!

• Find/follow feeds that collect what you're interested in...
[Liked by 200 users 9with curser arrow pointed at it)]
• Look at "liked by" to find folks to follow...

• Inspect the feed to discover terms the feed uses to select posts (some feeds tell you)
• Use these terms when posting about the thing (kinda like a #) so more people can find you.

TIP: there's no algorithm here, so you can repost your own post without being penalized. You can also repost old posts, it's fine! You don't need to be a "content" machine

♥Rori!
