Hey #KPopMonday peeps ..
Don't forget that not everyone can see Youtube previews in your posts (and often Youtube blocks them), so it's great for usability/accessibility if you include the Artist/Title of the track you're sharing as text in your post.

Purple Whale Tip 3 - Bonus: Helping Moots Find You!
The other way to find moots is via the Profile Directory. You can check ours out at: https://apobangpo.space/directory.
You'll need to opt-in to get listed there by going to 'Edit profile > Suggest account to others' and ticking the box top opt in.
Choosing this setting will allow you to be found in the Directory, For You tab, in Explore and Search.
Purple Whale Tip 3: Finding Moots
The best way to find moots to follow is to search on hashtags. Here in the Purple Fediverse, the best ones to use are #BTS, #BTSArmy and #FediArmy.
You should also use hashtags in your own posts, so people who are interested in what you're posting about can find you.
ProTip: It's really important to add some info in your Profile before you start following. Most users will be less likely to follow back if your profile is blank.
Purple Whale Tip 2: Image Descriptions Rule.
Not only do they improve accessibility for all users on Mastodon, they’re also fun to write!
Add a description (sometimes referred to as an alt-tag) to the media you are sharing next time you post!
Include some info about the content of the image (eg. Who, What, Where, Why) and a description of what's visible.
To add yours, when uploading an image or video, click on the 'edit' or 'caption' button to add your description.
Purple Whale Tip 1: Use Tags!
The algorithm isn’t here to create a timeline for you (like it does on the birdapp). But the cool thing about that is we get to create the purple feed together by using great #Hashtags.
Try adding these to you next post – #BTS #BTSArmy #KPop and #FediArmy and see if some new mootsies find you!
If we effectively we tag our posts, everyone can find and interact with each other more easily!
