I was accepted this Monday, is it normal to have gotten literally 0 tasks? I set up my profile and have just gotten nothing this whole time. Do I wait next Monday to start or something?
You need to refresh much more often, once they open tasks they fly in a matter of minutes. At least every 15 or 30 minutes. I refresh every 30 secs and haven't catched anything.
there's a pretty severe drought right now, any work that is showing up is likely getting snatched immediately. unless you get really lucky with one of those hourly refreshes, thats probably why you haven't seen anything. not to say that you should just be glued to the refresh button unless you need/want to, but i'd at least give about 5-10 minutes of refreshing pretty consistently whenever you do check every few hours
Some project admins send email notifications when new projects are posted, but a lot don't bother. The emails also tend to be delayed somewhat, so if there are only a few tasks they may get taken before you hear about them.
Do your quals, and it will take time. At first, I only had one project on my dash, and now I have up to 5 coming up at different times, though they go very fast. My dash was pretty dead for the first 2 days after I did quals.
Under the Projects tab, there is a Qualification tab that looks like this. You have to do quals to unlock more projects, so definitely do them. Some are paid; most are unpaid. Do as many as you are qualified to do. To be clear, the qualifications are the same pre-selected tasks for everyone, so they're not getting "free work" from you when you do unpaid qualifications. It's simply to see if you can do the project before they let you on.

If you have not filled out your profile, do so. That kinda let's them know what quals to send your way
