Thanks for the thoughts and tips, Olivia!

At a meta-level, I'm interested in these questions, issues, and processes, as I'm interested in and work with community engagement - neat to be experiencing "being a new 'community' member" and the disorientation, confusion, emotions again >

Interrogating myself to try and understand what I choose to post, where, why etc - current plan is to try and find some instances that are specific to my other interests, and set up accounts on all of them, see how that goes :) Really appreciate your help and support with this.
