With the below post in mind, and Collections now a thing, we should all be aware of our personal account settings. These are YOUR means of agency and control over your own posts and reach.

On Wandering.shop, I'm nearly certain we have a broad range. We have folks who are working writers with promotional goals. And we have quiet fans who just want to read along and prefer to hole up in our cozy corner and not get much attention.

Fedi.Tips and #feditips provide info & service for all.
