Hullo! New to Beehaw! Show Me Your Nails!
(beehaw.org)
Hi! I'm newer to the Fediverse and brand new to Beehaw. I've used Reddit for years, but I'm seeking greener shores as big tech has gotten real weird.
When I'm not reading, attempting to be a guitarist or fooling with fountain pens, I like to paint my nails! Do I color in the lines? No. Do I do a perfect job? Also no. But I pick fun colors and always, always, always add glitter. Did you color your nails? I wanna see!
(Side bar, I low-key wish the Fediverse had more places for beauty inspo. Let's see pretty nails, hair and outfits, please!)
Again I wish we could follow people on here ... Wait, would that work from Mastodon or Pixelfed?
Anyway, love your nails, amazing colour and so sparkly! 💖
Edit: Wth, it works from Masto and Pixelfed! Don't see any posts yet but that's amazing! Fediverse 🤯
One thing I noticed is that Beehaw doesn't have hashtags. I'm on Pixelfed, but the photos that appear in my feed are based on hashtags I've chosen to follow that also have a photo. So I'm unsure how this post will get picked up on Pixelfed without any tags (I didn't test that I could add #nails to the post and it'd work). But hey! You found me and that's cool enough. Also thanks, glitter is great :D
Lemmy itself doesn't use hashtags, but since other Mastodon and pixelfed use them and are compatible with Lemmy, hashtags can be used to improve searching between them.
So basically while they serve no purpose within Lemmy, you can still add hashtags to your posts/comments.
Learn something new every day. Thanks!
I'm on MBIN, and can readily follow individuals, as well as communities.
