Excellent thread compilation. Very much the gold standard for how to handle this vexing problem on Mastodon.

I can't sleep so I'm going to make that your problem. Let's talk about curation of information, no come back! I mean "gaining visibility and reach for your posts on Mastodon."

I'm a big nerd so I like to find out how things work. I knew how stuff worked on Twitter and why it was a Gen X/boomer platform. In this thread I hope to explain why Mastodon is a millennial platform, why there's no search*, and what you can do about it.

I was just doing some curation and lists for accounts I follow and I recommend these people for great opinions, best boosts and crossing several intersections of politics, liberation and humour.

@violetathena

Well, I don't know about "famous people" but I choose to use my powers to boost the voices of people who are talking about things I care about. E.g. trans rights, racism, the future and design of Mastodon, books and science fiction, TTRPGs etc

My inner librarian is sad that important information and conversation gets lost because people aren't used to the platform.

_We_ are the algorithm, that's how I see it anyway.

#MastodonCuration

@Homebrewandhacking I am using #Misskey for #Curation due to its custom timeline features (called β€œAntennas”) that allow me to differentiate between those I follow.

#Introduction

I'm PJ Coffey, 40s, non-binary.

I'm a geek and very interested in Curation especially #MastodonCuration

If you came for roleplaying things go to Pin2. #HomebrewAndHacking

If you came for activism go to Pin3

If you came for non-roleplaying geek things go to Pin4.

If you came for counselling go to Pin5.

If you would like a follow back, have a read of what seems relevant and write something to let me know how I should curate you for my lists. :)

If #Journalists spent half the time learning about the platform that they did complaining about it, it'd be pretty sweet. Look at the state of this post. Too arrogant to learn #MastodonCuration. #QTTusky

@taylorlorenz Journalists will never stick around this app long term... We...build on each others ideas, and add crucial context to posts. These are things replies simply do not accomplish...quote posting...does not = harassment!

@oligneisti that is very interesting.

I'm doing a bit of #MastodonCuration because whilst I'm pretty new here there are fascinating conversations that are just... disappearing and will never be found.

The power of # to let people get themselves up to speed and catch up on conversations and find people is wildly important but they're very much blunt objects.

The great thing about none of the journos on here knowing a GD thing about Mastodon or curating is there's this tiny window we're in. This tiny window where I can look at a BS scare story and smile because there's no # and it's not going anywhere. #MastodonCuration

@duckus

Well, don't boost crap? Boost stuff you like. If someone is following you, hopefully they'll like it. πŸ˜€

If you want your musings to be searchable then #Duckus your work that you feel noteworthy and blam, job done. πŸ˜€

And as for #MastodonCuration whacking tags on _fascinating_, _valuable_ discussions so that they can be found by other audiences is actually pretty important, or they're gone!

I'm new here but I think that all works. πŸ˜€
