Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.

So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?

Welcome comrades and hopefully soon-to-be comrades. kirby-wave

I've had some really nice exchanges with new users and those from other instances and look forward to more and more of it.

Even those who have just dipped their toes in to ask questions and then backed out presumably because it wasn't for them or didn't like the answers - you won't read this probably but thanks for being on earnest and cool about it. screm-cool

I'm new and I just wanted to stop in and say thank you to everyone for the warm welcome. 🥰 you have all been so friendly and helpful. I'm so happy you federated and I found you. ❤️

Speaking for myself here, but one thing that always makes me happy is seeing more users who are into Star Trek, furries, into hobbies, or any combination of those.

Well you for one, for making this topic, it's a good idea

Assuming you mean new users even from outside the instance, I've seen a few users from elsewhere post dune memes, and we need more duneposting

Also more generally the free software / anti-IP / linux content seems to have increased (we had comms for those of course but theirs are bigger) and that's pretty great too

Hmm.. that first one would make a cute tattoo. Fuck I’m glad I changed apps and can actually see them now.

Not that I’m going to get it tattood, but I really like the idea and might use something similar!

I don't know the new folks' names yet, but I agree that it's wonderful to get new comrades! meow-hug
