   Some tips for new users!

   Under App Settings you can enable an estimated reply counter.
   (it's an estimate because some replies might be out of your instance!)

     When adding an image, you can move the "focal point".
     On most Social Media, this is done automatically by Algorithms™, here you can manually control what the crop should look like.

     You can move between different servers (instances)!

     If you no longer think your home instance is the best place for you - maybe the admin is too busy to get rid of spammers or other uncomfy people - moving across instances is natively supported, and will carry most of your followers with you (minus ones that opt out of auto-following migrated accounts).

     This one feels like a really obvious thing missing from BirdSite, but is a combination of two features:
     1. You can "lock" your account to put follow requests in a review queue.
     2. You can mark a post as Public, Unlisted, Followers Only, or Mentioned Only.
     As a consequence, you have an option between "fully open" and "fully closed". A locked account can still make Public posts, so you're not damning yourself to eternal solitude just to get some privacy.
