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 I don’t see a button marked boost. Is that the same as reblog?

@atomicbird @axwax yeah, I'm guessing "boost" is the same as "re-toot".

@packy @atomicbird Interesting - on fosstodon.org it's called "Boost"

Maybe they renamed it in the new version? Here we're still running v 3.5.3 of Mastodon

Ah! I'm exclusively using the Android client, which doesn't label that button.

@packy @atomicbird Yeah, maybe the apps call it differently than the web version - either way, we all mean the same thing! 😀
