Time for a repost for all new #diaspora* users.
Hello and a big welcome
to everyone new to diaspora*
We’re so pleased that you’ve decided to give diaspora* a try. It’s fantastic that you’ve joined us!
We hope that you quickly find your way here, and enjoy getting connected with people and content.
Here’s a few tips for getting started:
There are some [step-by-step tutorials](https://diasporafoundation.org/tutorials) on our project website covering the basics of how diaspora* works, and how to get connected with people. There’s a link to these in the side-bar, should you ever want to read them in future, and there’s also an in-app Help section you can access through your user menu (at the right-hand end of the header bar).
You can search for people by name or by diaspora* ID (which looks like an email address), if you know it, from the search field in the header bar. You can invite people to join you in diaspora* by sending them a link to our project website, from where they can choose their own pod to register with. **Your friends don’t need to be on the same pod as you in order to connect and communicate with you.**
One good way to start getting connected with people is to start following some #tags of subjects that interest you (maybe #music, #photography, #linux, or #activism … whatever interests you) so that you will see content on those topics in your stream. You can then start following people whose posts you find interesting, by placing them into one of your aspects.
If you have any questions, post something with the #question or #help tag, and people will try to help you. Make sure to make your post public so anyone who can help is able to see it!
diaspora* has some very simple community guidelines, which we hope everyone will feel able to follow so that all members can have the best possible experience here.
We’re trying to improve diaspora* all the time, fixing bugs, honing performance and adding new features. But how fast we can do this is limited by the time developers have. To improve diaspora* faster, we need more developers! If you’ve just signed up and can code, or know someone who can and who might be interested in joining our team, get in touch!
