It's a really good idea to have a pinned introduction post saying a bit about your account, maybe including some relevant images, audio or video attachments if possible.
Pinned posts are automatically backfilled, which means even servers that have never seen your account before will display your pinned introduction, and your timeline will never look blank.

Replying to all the random individuals that seem to think that Iโm โendorsingโ one of the Fediverse products over any other, and seem to be making a big deal over #akkoma vs #mastodon etc.
Thatโs not the case. Iโm actually a horrible MIS person, and I would never want to maintain my own server. Iโm a programmer for chrissake!
The same way you should fear me if I hold a soldering iron, you should be very very nervous if I were to do any server management.
So all credit (or blame) for the choice of Fediverse platform goes to @monsieuricon, who maintains kernel.org and just made it really easy for me to try this out.
โฆ and on a similar note: not only am I not much of a MIS person, Iโm also not much of a social networking person.
I foresee a lot of disappointment in the future of any followers of this account ๐ฎ.
