   It is a long-established #fediverse courtesy to use a hashtag for politics. Examples: #frpol, #uspol, #ukpol, #txpol, #canpol, #nspol.
   Another courtesy is to use CW with the *pol or similar as subject above the fold.
   Some of us intentionally do not follow regional, national, or foreign politics. We do have interest in other topics. Use of these courtesies might just convince someone to press that Follow icon

   Please and thank you.

     Look into the guide mentioned here https://mastodon.social/@WillDHB/109305503812302389

     (Please keep in mind: These are "norms" that are kind of common on Mastodon-run instances. As the fedverse consists of many more instances they won't apply there. But for your start in the Mastodon-sphere it may be helpful.) https://gnusocial.net/attachment/6750600fc320aec78fd432ba440fd8ebc42f20b31c0d6e602f91f5942dc29574/view

     @cosullivan Do you have any suggestions for those of us who are #new to #mastodon to help understand this sort of #community #norm?

     My searches turn up plenty of links explaining federation and how to log in. I am having trouble finding things like what you posted, and do not want to blindly apply norms I learned elsewhere here.

     (P.S. Sorry if it is rude to reply with a much broader topic and a request to a targeted informational post.)
