- 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. 
 @8b189dd1 These are great tips, thanks! 
 @9042307f You're welcome. I'd also suggest
- letting them know the difference between the three "major" timelines (i.e. ppl you follow, instance, firehose)
- maybe having some "who to follow" suggestions
- letting them know there's no algo, they'll ONLY see who they follow or who is in those places
- how to follow a hashtag, with some suggestions
- ALT TEXT

They're lucky to have you doing this.
