Mastodon habits I'm trying to lock in, rather than revert to my Twitter habits:

1) use CWs liberally
2) when threading, set first post to "public" and the rest to "not listed"
3) don't forget the description text when posting images (had to work on that in Twitter too)
4) throw in hashtags like it was Tumblr or Instagram when you want to reach beyond your followers
5) pin and visit hashtags to find more people
6) boost a lot

@pbinkley Tell me more about #2.
@proactivebusybody I haven't actually done it myself yet, but the idea is explained in various guides I've seen, e.g. https://blog.djnavarro.net/posts/2022-11-03_what-i-know-about-mastodon/#how-can-i-make-threads - it avoids having your thread tweets take up space in feeds, while still having the existence of the thread signalled by the first tweet (which should be descriptive, I guess). Some people are setting their default permission to unlocked, and only setting it to public on posts that need it

@pbinkley Thanks!
