Okay trying something!
NERDY TECH BLACK PEOPLE SAY HI SO I CAN FOLLOW YOU!
Maybe it's that easy (or maybe I followed them all and this thing just doesn't feel like home for folks like me) 🥺

#introductions: I'm an American who has been living in northern #Vietnam for the last two decades. It's an intensely photogenic place, but I'm most drawn to its alleyways in the middle of long night walks. I also have a Firefish account for more text based parts of the Fediverse (https://firefish.social/@HonDuMuc).

Simple solutions to increase productivity of small scale farmers in Africa!
small scale farmers around the world have to struggle with so many issues including lack of space, pest control, lack of access to healthy and organic fertilizer not to mention water that is becoming an even bigger problem in so many parts of the world.
There are many solutions that can help increase the yield of each plant by using solutions such as trellies.
During our visits in different parts of Ghana, we never saw any farmer using trellis for their tomatoes, cucumbers or eggplants.
With bamboo being widely available in many parts of ghana at very low cost, it is possible to create efficient and low cost trellis like the ones in this image to increase the efficiency of many crops and at the same time make it easier to fight the weeds and pests.
It also creates a natural shield against heavy rain and strong sunshine while making it easier for farmers to take care of their plants and harvest their produce.

Reminder that if you're feeling lonely today, see this hashtag:
➡️ #JoinIn
There are lots of people (myself included) keeping each other company on there, with all kinds of posts from hot chocolate recipes to historical photos to horses covered in tinsel to just general thoughts and chatter.
You can use the hashtag however you want, serious or fun, and anyone using the tag is welcoming of replies and discussion so it's a great way of striking up a conversation.
See you there! ☃️

Takeaways from my first week on Mastodon...
1. I am still very new here and have much to learn.
2. Hashtags are your friend. Follow them. Use them. Capitalize each word in them.
3. You will miss things, and that is the point.
4. For people you don't want to miss, make lists for them.
5. Boost. Boost. Boost.
6. It is nice to make connections and not chase an algorithm.
7. People seem to be happier here.
8. Always add descriptions to your images.

Just look at the "Federated" for a more global perspective.

in reply to j_corey02 • • •-You can **bold **and *italicize *text with ctrl+b and i, respectively.
-Always a good idea to capitalize a multi-word hashtag for screen readers, but you have to put a space at the end because the @#$$ software is *really *into lower case.
-Follow everybody/anybody if they say something interesting (this isn't interesting, not a self-promotion)

So far the natives are a friendly bunch.

I see folks have given you some guides and hints, so I'll just say this: feel free to jump right into the different conversations you see, because that's the jazz that makes this place so involving and fun. That, and the folks here have generally been so nice and welcoming and open to good conversations and the like.
Also, it's been suggested before, but I'll echo it: look for (and follow) a bunch of hashtags that pertain to your interests to make this place even MORE entertaining and find like-minded folks who share those interests.
Here's hoping that Mastodon rocks out for ya - cheers, and all the best!
