I may teach a workshop on Mastodon at my local #library. I’m thinking of calling it “Social Media in the 21st Century: #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, & the #Fediverse”. 

I’m going to keep things easy. I want participants to walk away with an account and seeing the fediverse as much an option as traditional social media.

A couple of questions:

1. Most newbie friendly free #Android app?
2. Suggested newbie friendly account/webUI settings?
3. What’s one tip you think every new Mastodon user should know?

- I'd stick with the Masto app just b/c for a lot of people, using the default app with the same name as the tool will be easier for them. 
- I'd pick out the instance in advance. 
- I'd show them how to make a basic filter with an extreme example (like you can show your account, and then show it again without whatever the word is "Weather" or something)
- I'd find a few accounts for them to consider following that might be useful
- Show them Block/Mute tools and how to reply.
