huh, going to have to check this out, may be a new way to get posts discovered or seen from small servers too. It feels like something between guppy groups and a fedibuzz relay.

@JessTheUnstill @abraxas3d Best description I've heard (from this toot: https://mastodon.green/@CiaraNi/116390949725857530) is things here go fungal rather than viral, popping up for likes and retoots months by or years later, especially if you use hashtags newcomers can search / talk about niche interests

@[email protected] I love that this happens. Agreed: the Fediverse is both quirky and lovely. When someone replies to or boosts one of my toots months or years later, I recall someone saying that things don't 'go viral' here, but 'go fungal' or 'go mycelial', growing slowly over time. Sometimes I'll see a great pinned toot or connect with a new mutual and see an old toot on their timeline that I boost. I do worry it might look like stalking, but it's just incidental and coincidental.

Hashtag discovery in the Fediverse is limited by which servers yours knows about. tags.pub, a global hashtag server by the Social Web Foundation, fills that gap. It collects public posts and redistributes them by hashtag, so your content reaches people across the network. It works out of the box on WordPress.com. Self-hosted sites can connect by adding a relay in the ActivityPub settings. The project is open source, privacy-conscious, and respects opt-outs.

What Is Your Site's AI Chatbot for? Users Can't Tell

Users see little reason to use site AI chatbots. To prove their value, chatbots must solve problems that existing site features don't.

You know what kind of sucks? I sort of miss my #Spotify #algorithm. I'm on #Qobuz now, but the #discoverability of it is so and so.

Human curated playlists are fine, but it depends upon who is doing it. I've started DJing again and I could try to do what we did in the olden days, which was just checking labels and release schedules, but that's a lot of work seeing as how many labels get started and shut down for this, that and the other project.

I'd like an algorithm I can have control over.

German tool to check whether your account can be found in the #Fediverse

It also offers brief tips on how to improve #Discoverability and orientation:

Account name

Profile description / Bio

Profile set to be discoverable

Can the profile be indexed?

Do you have a verified link to identify yourself?

Have you pinned posts to highlight stuff that is important to you?

Obviously, depending on what you want or need to do here, you may not want or need all of these.
