This is great advice for getting this place spun up. 👍
If you like something, don’t just like it, retweet it. Otherwise nobody sees it. Easiest way to find people is go through other’s followers lists. Also, I have spent the last two weeks trying to introduce everybody I know from before on my timeline, so you might find people there.
