Welcome my friend, I wish you the best experience one could wish another!

Oh btw, not meant in a bad way, but the "the follow me and I follow you" thing might not be the best strategy, really follow people because you vibe with their posts, that way you connect with like minded people and your own post will benefit from such following

@playfulfoodie has a nice post 'bout it: follower for follower

Love and peace
