To expand on #introductions I'd like to see people repost something they posted about in the past that they feel had been ignored by the #birdsite's #algorithm. If you do, please boost or repeat these instructions.

I'll start with this #DJmix of #Brazilian #music I made a year ago: https://hearthis.at/axwax/axwax-brazil/

This #mix is dear to my heart as I was in a #community #Samba #band when I still lived in the UK and miss it muchly. Plus, I think it should be a suitable #soundtrack for your #Friday.

To add to the above:

Since there is no #algorithm it is really important that you #boost interesting posts by others.

A star (liking) does nothing to help increase a post's visibility beyond the original author's followers.

I know it is strange coming from 🐦, but it really is the only way to increase a post's audience.

So #BoostAllTheThings (if you like them) and you will notice others will do the same to your content. Here we're all in it together!

@axwax regarding stars - ive noticed that i cant really see how many stars posts have with the exception of posts i've starred or my own posts. like, i see how many stars my posts have and posts that i have starred show up as having one star but all other posts are at 0 stars. do you know if this is how it should be or is this an instance setting of some sort?

Only the author and you see the number of stars - I believe this is by design to discourage the birdsite-style popularity contest, although I don't have a first hand source for this info right now.

Has anyone else got a good link that mentions this?
